Huawei’s 3G EV-DO Network Order from Movilnet Venezuela

Huawei Technologies announced that it has signed a network contract to construct a CDMA2000 network for Movilnet, one of the largest wireless telecom operators in Venezuela.

Under the terms of the contract, Huawei will provide a wide range of CDMA20001X/1xEV-DO equipment including Radio Access Network and Core Network Softswitch. The contract, which marks a significant milestone in the strategic cooperation between Huawei and Movilnet, will make Huawei a leading provider of CDMA equipment in the Venezuela market.

Widely recognized by CDMA operators worldwide, Huawei’s industry-leading BTS features open framework, broadband platform and professional radio-frequency technologies. As the first wireless communications solution provider to integrate Softswitch technology into a core CDMA network, Huawei bases its CDMA Softswitch solution on the distributed technology of traffic control and bearer, which offers such advantages as huge capacity and high integration. IP transmission solution enables operators to reduce transmission costs significantly.

Mr. JosГ© MarГ­a de Viana, CEO of Movilnet, commented, “We consider Huawei as our strategic and reliable partner that can help expand our CDMA2000 network and meet our requirements. Movilnet plans to offer the best 3G multimedia and communication services to our customers in 2006. We firmly believe that our network subscriber number will reach 8 million by the year-end.”

“We look forward to a closer long-term partnership with Movilnet,” said Mr. Jiang Yafei, President of Huawei Latin America. “Huawei’s leading technologies and professional experience will allow our customers to enjoy high-quality network coverage and more diversified services.”
To date, Huawei has won 19 CDMA2000 1xEV-DO commercial contracts and deployed CDMA networks serving over 40 million subscribers globally. In November 2005, Frost & Sullivan ranked Huawei “Top Three” in global CDMA market.
