Indian operator Reliance Communications has awarded a network expansion contract, worth over US$200mn, to Huawei Under the agreement, Huawei will supply and provide services for CDMA & GSM base stations, including BSC (Base Station Controller) and switches, and help to create first class all-IP Next Generation Network infrastructure. The technology provided by Huawei is expected to bring down Reliance Communications’ total cost of ownership (TCO) by enabling a significantly faster and more cost-effective expansion of existing CDMA & GSM network services. It will also enhance the company’s competitive advantage in attracting new subscribers. The contract will play a significant role in Reliance Communications’ planned roll out of its pan-India CDMA and GSM network expansion, that seeks to extend its next generation, integrated (wireless and wire-line) convergent (voice, data and video) digital network to over 20,000 towns and 600,000 villages creating India’s largest telecom network.
