SHENZHEN, China -- Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd (Huawei), a leader in providing next generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, has been selected by Comium Mobile, a leading total telecommunications services group and West Africa’s leading mobile service provider, to build its GSM network in Cote d’Ivoire . The contract includes providing a full turnkey GSM, GPRS, 3G and Intelligent Network in Cote d’Ivoire.

The project adopts Huawei’s innovative EnerG GSM solution and new generation GSM Dual Density BTS.

The Ivorian telecoms and mobile GSM market is set to witness exponential growth and Comium Mobile is positioning itself to bring tangible and sustainable value to its customers.

Comium Mobile is committed to go commercial live by 1st quarter 2007. With a population of over 17 million, and a mobile penetration rate of 13.5%, Comium aims to grow the market with the introduction of innovative products and services, highly competitive and cost-efficient pricing strategy, and superior service quality in terms of coverage, customer care, and distribution channels.

“Comium is aggressively pursuing the acquisition of new licenses across West Africa. The success we are enjoying in Liberia and Sierra Leone is inspiring us to grow regionally by providing differentiated customer experience through the provision of innovative products and services including affordable GSM solutions, broadband internet and international voice service offerings. Huawei is an enabling partner for this mission with its technically advanced solutions that help us deliver on our vision to bring new means for the human communication needs,” said Dr. Nizar Dalloul, Chairman and CEO of the Comium Group.
