Huawei wins CDMA2000 WLL contracts in Algeria and Ethiopia

March 25, 2004

Huawei Technologies announced Algerie Telecom and Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation (ETC) have selected the company as the strategic partner to construct CDMA2000 1X WLL networks in Algeria and Ethiopia respectively.

Huawei's US$ 30 million contract with Algerie Telecom will provide the operator with the complete 1900MHz CDMA WLL system, which is based on the most advanced CDMA2000 1X RTT technology. This system will smoothly merge into the existing PSTN network. Besides the existing PSTN services, high speed data services up to 153.6kbps will be provided to boost the network value of Algerie Telecom. Based on Huawei's advanced 3G platform, this system can be smoothly evolved to support 1xEV-DO. This ensures the strong ability of service provisioning and future development of Algerie Telecom.

This system will be deployed in the north-east of Algeria, which is a famous traveling and industrial region. This system will increase the capacity of the existing PSTN network in the region by 30%. As a result, the vast requirements on telecommunication services will be fulfilled.

"We are convinced of Huawei's strength of technology, and satisfied with our more and more tight cooperation," said Mr. CHETTIH, President - Director General of Algerie Telecom. "We believe Huawei will also do an excellent job in the CDMA WLL project."

Huawei has signed a contract valued at over US$ 10 million with ETC, the sole operator in Ethiopia. Under the contract, Huawei will provide ETC with the complete CDMA 1X WLL system, comprising a combination of 800MHz and 450MHz, which is based on the CDMA2000 1X technologies. This system will supplement the operator's existing PSTN network via V5.2 interface.

In this project, Huawei's 800MHz CDMA WLL system will be deployed in Addis Ababa, the Capital of Ethiopia; and the 450MHz CDMA WLL system in other three famous industrial cities. This WLL system can quickly access the subscribers and it is the cost effective way to quickly promote the tele-density in Ethiopia.
