Huawei announced that more than one billion people ? approximately one quarter of worldwide GSM users ? now use Huawei?s GSM radio access networks for their mobile communication needs.
This key milestone was reached through the GSM network that Huawei successfully constructed for MTN Nigeria.
?I?m excited to be one of the one billion users of Huawei?s GSM technology,? said Navi Naidoo, CTO of MTN Group. ?Huawei?s partnership has been integral to MTN?s success over the past few years.
Due in large part to Huawei?s GSM infrastructure, we are able to provide high-quality GSM services to 120 million subscribers across the entire African continent and several countries in the Middle East.?
GSM is the most widely-deployed mobile telephony standard in the world. Huawei has invested substantially in its GSM solutions and set the 2G network data rate record of 564Kb/s with its industry-leading EDGE+ technology to bring high-bandwidth 3G experiences to 2G users over GSM networks. As a result, Huawei?s GSM solution has been adopted by nearly every mainstream GSM operator around the world.
