In cooperation with its partners, Ericsson - the Swedish provider of telecommunications equipment and related services to mobile and fixed network operators - plans to set up a research and product development unit in the area of radio technology in the City of Oulu in Northern Finland, according to information gathered by Helsingin Sanomat.


The aim is to launch the unit, which will employ more thant 200 people, early next year. Hiring employees will begin in the course of the autumn.
Radio technology in this context means the transfer of information from one location to another by using radio waves.

On Wednesday, Ericsson was unwilling to comment on the matter, but promised to release news on Thursday.
 

Nokia Siemens Networks, a rival of Ericsson, has a R&D centre and a base station factory in Oulu, which each employ about 1,000 people.
