Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announced it has signed an exclusive media delivery services contract with Australian public service broadcaster, Special Broadcasting Service (SBS).

"This flexibility, combined with leading edge technology and efficient workflows, allows us to create a cost effective solution tailored to each client. This contract win is another milestone in our long-standing relationship with SBS and we look forward to strengthening this relationship further over the coming years."
