MELBOURNE, Florida, United States-U.S.-based supplier AirNet said it received purchase orders for about US$5 million in products and services from an African GSM operator. The orders will help expand wireless coverage throughout 10 cities in an African GSM market, AirNet said.
The GSM operator will also have exclusive AirNet supply rights for any future base station sales.
