ZTE, a provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, has announced the signing of a GSM Network infrastructure agreement with Unitech Wireless. Under the agreement, ZTE will provide GSM systems and core network equipment for a period of five years across the circles of Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana.
Unitech Wireless, a joint venture between Norway’s Telenor Group and Unitech Group of India, holds the licence to provide mobile phone services across all 22 telecom circles in India. The company is planning to roll out services in select circles by the end of 2009 under the brand name Uninor.
The GSM equipment from ZTE will allow Unitech Wireless to evolve its network infrastructure as required, thereby helping reduce network evolution cost, lower TCO and enhance profitability.
