ZTE has clinched an exclusive bid from
Columbia's leading operator Emcali to build the country's first WiMAX 16e network. For the 3.5G WiMAX 16e project, ZTE will provide Emcali core network equipment, wireless access equipment and various outdoor/indoor terminals. Emcali, which was awarded by the Columbian government WiMAX licenses two years ago, has been required to make the network commercially available by end of this year. After a thorough bidding process, Emcali chose ZTE to exclusively provide them the network equipment in developing comprehensive commercial network services and advanced WiMAX technologies in
Columbia. Under the project, ZTE will also provide WiMAX base stations to help Emcali offer extensive mobile wireless coverage in the Columbian regions of
Cali and
Popayan. Upon completion of the project, Emcali will be able to offer WiMAX mobile services besides providing fixed line phone services, network transmission and IPTV businesses.
