Ericsson Nikola Tesla takes on full Hrvatski Telekom services contract

Ericsson Nikola Tesla (ENT) took over full responsibility for a managed services contract with Hrvatski Telekom (HT). The vendor did not detail its reasons for doing so. HT originally awarded the network construction and maintenance contract to both Ericsson and ENT, the Swedish vendor’s Croatian affiliate, in 2014 (Deutsche Telekomwatch, #33). The deal is due to expire in September 2020. ENT is a longstanding partner of HT, as well as HT Mostar — the Bosnia and Herzegovina telecoms provider in which HT owns a minority stake — and HT‑controlled Crnogorski Telekom in Montenegro (Deutsche Telekomwatch, #5, #52, #57, #63, #66, and #83).
