HONG KONG-ZTE Corp. said it will install Vietnam’s first third-generation network in Ho Chi Minh City under a contract with Vietnam Power Telecom. The value of the deal was not disclosed.
ZTE said it will provide a network based on 450 MHz EV-DO technology, which will bring 3G technology to the 7 million inhabitants of Vietnam’s largest city. The Chinese supplier said the contract follows the successful installation by ZTE of Vietnam’s largest CDMA network, which covers 13 of the country’s provinces, including the most densely populated and highly developed areas of Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta.
The 3G network will use ZTE’s EV-DO, CDMA2000 1x and GoTa (Global Open Trunking Architecture) solutions to supply high-speed data, voice and trunking services.
