Ericsson has been selected to expand and upgrade leading Pakistani operator Warid Telecom's GSM/GPRS network. The move will enable Warid to enhance network capacity and quality for its expanding subscriber base.
Under the agreement, Ericsson will supply, install and commission core, radio, microwave and optical-transmission network equipment, and take responsibility for site acquisition and civil works. The contract also includes expansion of Warid's existing Ericsson Mobile Packet Backbone Network (MPBN).
Ericsson will also provide network design and integration services. The equipment supplied under this contract will be managed under an existing agreement for managed services.
Marwan Zawaydeh, CEO of Warid, says: "By boosting our network capacity and quality, we are well-positioned to deliver our customers a richer mobile communications experience. This agreement represents an extension of our strategic partnership with Ericsson and builds upon Ericsson's leading technology, global experience and strong local presence."
Zibber Mohiuddin, Head of Ericsson Pakistan, says: "This contract reflects the strong regional growth of mobile telephony. It also shows Ericsson's ability to support rapidly increasing subscriber numbers and to cater for increased capacity demands."
