ZTE will also provide full network operation management and end-to-end service network optimisation services for TP. This will help the operator achieve significant improvements in network quality, allowing it to focus on its market operation services and enhancing its market share.
“Telenor Pakistan is extremely pleased to partner with ZTE on this network upgrade,” said Telenor Pakistan CEO Lars Christian Iuel. “As a long-term investor in Pakistan, we are eager to upgrade our network to meet the increasing customer needs.
