SOFIA, Bulgaria -- Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
("Huawei"), a leader in providing next generation telecommunications network
solutions for operators around the world, today announced that it has been
selected by TransTelecom, a telecom operator in Bulgaria, to deploy a
commercial WiMAX network, covering central business districts and hot spots
in the country's major cities, including its capital, Sofia, and Varna,
Bulgaria's largest harbor city.
According to the contract, Huawei will supply an end-to-end WiMAX solution
working on 3.5GHz frequency band, including terminals, as well as a major
upgrade of the TransTelecom central exchange equipment for the operation of
a fully mobile WiMAX network in 2008.
In 2006, TransTelecom deployed a 16d-based WiMAX network to meet the
country's increasing broadband needs, and the operator has chosen Huawei to
deliver an upgraded 16e-based network. Huawei's 16e-based WiMAX solution
integrates the most advanced technologies such as multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) and orthogonal frequency division multiple access
(OFDMA), which features high bandwidth, wide area coverage, large capacity,
as well as providing better mobility. Huawei's new base stations, enable
TransTelecom to quickly roll out innovative new services to its customers,
while reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
"We are delighted to choose Huawei as our WiMAX equipment supplier,"
said Mr. John Munnery, Chairman of TransTelecom. "Extensive tests of this
new technology have surpassed all our expectations. In particular, we
witnessed Huawei demonstrate one of the first handovers of traffic from one
base station to another in Europe. Huawei has exhibited total commitment to
the project throughout our selection process, and has proven itself to be
one of the leaders in this fast-developing technology. What's more, we are
also impressed with Huawei's localized engineering and delivery capability."
