Huawei and ZTE win big in bidding
Print Edition
ZTE Corp and Huawei Technologies have captured more than 50 percent of the latest bidding to supply equipment to China Mobile’s 4G network, expected to be worth 20 billion yuan (US$3.22 billion), the biggest 4G bidding this year, Shanghai Daily learned yesterday.
Overseas firms, including Ericsson Inc, Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN) and Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell (ASB), took one-third share of the telco’s tender for its TD-LTE network.
Shenzhen-based ZTE and Huawei each garnered almost 26 percent share in the bidding which started in June, followed by Ericsson, NSN and ASB which took 11 percent share each. Beijing-based Datang Mobile took 9 percent and other Chinese firms made up the rest, according to two company executives involved in the bidding.
China Mobile is set to invest 200 million yuan to build 200,000 base stations nationwide this year and next year. The country’s biggest telco will expand the 4G network to 100 cities this year to cover 500 million people. By 2014, it’s expected to have 350,000 4G base stations nationwide. Its 4G network will be the first on the China’s mainland.
More than 44 LTE 4G networks operate in 28 countries and regions. China will issue 4G licenses by the end of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said recently.
