Forthcoming Canadian cell phone carrier, DAVE Wireless, announced today that Swedish telecom equipment giant, Ericsson, will design and build its 3G network.

The two companies have signed an exclusive multi-year contract involving Ericsson’s UMTS and HSPA+ cellular technology.

“This is an important milestone for DAVE Wireless and moves us one step closer to offering competitive voice and data services to Canadians,” said DAVE Wireless president, Dave Dobbin, in a press release today. “We are confident that by selecting Ericsson, a recognized global leader in network infrastructure and telecommunications services, our subscribers will receive great value when using our voice and data services.”

DAVE Wireless purchased 10 spectrum licenses in the Canadian government’s airwaves auction last year. It is expected to begin offering wireless service in a number of urban markets in early 2010.
