Huawei Wins in Vietnam

NEW DELHI -- Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, today announced that it has been awarded a contract by EVNTelecom to exclusively deploy an end-to-end 3G network in Vietnam, with Huawei’s cutting-edge SingleRAN solution. The new network will allow EVNTelecom to provide state-of-the-art mobile broadband services and experiences to its users by the end of April, 2010.

According to the contracts signed on November 18, 2009, Huawei will construct 2,500 base stations in Vietnam covering 46 percent of the population in the first phase of the project, prior to April 30, 2010. Thanks to Huawei’s industry-leading SingleRAN solution and fourth-generation base transceiver station (BTS), EVNTelecom’s new network will be able to smoothly evolve to HSPA+ or LTE, which greatly protects EVNTelecom’s investment in the future.

The network also deploys Huawei’s intelligent packet network (IPN) solution, which offers the industry’s largest capacity PS equipment to simplify the network and provides an innovative intelligent traffic management solution to help EVNTelecom offer high QoS services.

The 3G network will bring rich mobile broadband experiences, such as mobile internet, mobile commerce application, VOD and video call to Vietnamese end users.

“We are pleased to partner with Huawei,” said Mr. Pham Duong Minh, Director of EVNTelecom. “By using Huawei’s leading 3G technology, we will be able to provide our customers with the best quality mobile broadband services in the country."

"We are delighted to be selected by EVNTelecom for the deployment of its 3G network," said Ma Xiaobo, Managing Director of Huawei Vietnam. "With our proven technologies and solutions and extensive global deployment experiences, we will deliver a world-class mobile network to EVNTelecom."
