Huawei in UAE’s wireless project deal
Print Edition
CHINA’S Huawei and Dubai-based Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Co, known as Du, signed a memorandum of understanding yesterday to build the region’s most advanced mobile broadband (MBB) network.
The three-year wireless network project states that Huawei will assist Du in developing its next-generation mobile broadband network.
Du, whose shares are traded in the Dubai stock exchange DFM, is the second telecom provider in the United Arab Emirates after Abu Dhabi-based Etisalat.
Both sides said in an e-mailed statement that the explosive growth of consumer data usage necessitated an expansion of telecom firms’ MBB networks to accommodate LTE-Advanced, 4.5G and 5G capabilities.
“The next-generation of MBB is being defined and developed to serve huge data requirements as the Internet of Things continues to increase,” said Huawei.
The MOU was signed between Marwan BinShakar, vice president of mobile access networks at Du and Huawei’s Ying Weimin, president of research and development of wireless networks.
BinShakar said the MOU with Huawei signals the firm’s commitment to offer the fastest, most reliable and technologically innovative mobile broadband connectivity service for UAE consumers.
He added: “As our strategic partner, Huawei will collaborate with us in evolving the roadmap for our network.”
