Huawei help Etisalat launch UMTS services
December 28, 2003
Huawei Technologies announced that it helped Emirates Telecommunications
Corporation (Etisalat) to launch UMTS services in UAE on Dec. 24, 2003,
enabling Etisalat to become the first organization in the Middle East
and the Arab World to introduce 3G network.
On the ceremony, His Excellency the Minister of Communication of UAE,
Mr. Ahmed Humaid Al Tayer, became the first user of the network, when
he conducted a video telephony call in Dubai with Etisalat's President
& CEO Mr. Ali Salem Al Owais in Abu Dhabi, using a 3G mobile phone.
UMTS is one of the mainstream systems for the next generation mobile
communications, featuring large capacity voice, multimedia applications
and high-speed mobile data services. According to Mr. Ali Salem Al Owais,
the launch followed the satisfactory completion of all necessary tests,
which had been on-going since July 2002. " It will create significant
added value for our customers by providing mobile access to Internet-based,
multimedia services, video conferencing and streaming," he said.
Announcing the latest development, UAE Communications Minister Ahmed
Humaid Al Tayer said Etisalat had selected Huawei Technologies to update
its existing network for the multimedia-enabled 3G wireless services.
"This is another important milestone in Etisalat's continuing efforts
to provide customers in the UAE with the most advanced telecommunications
services. Personal and business communication is entering a genuine era
of connectivity, content and convergence and Etisalat is leading the way,"he
said.
"We are honored to be chosen by Etisalat for their UMTS deployment as
they continue to evolve their network and offer high quality services
to their growing customer base," said Ding Shaohua, Vice President
of Huawei Technologies and President of Huawei Middle East and North Africa
Region. "We are looking forward to a long-term and strategic partnership
with Etisalat."
