Huawei bags Vodafone contract for network enhancement projects.

Information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider Huawei has won a five-year contract from Vodafone to expand its Single Radio Access Network (SingleRAN). The global contract has been awarded under its 'Project Spring' Phase 1 programme.

Under the programme, Huawei will deliver a number of network enhancement projects, including both products and services, for Vodafone radio access networks in 15 countries including the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Romania, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa, Mozambique, Lesotho, Congo and Ghana.

These projects will use Huawei's SingleRAN solutions and beam-forming active antenna system to expand and strengthen Vodafone’s mobile coverage, enhance customer experience and improve operational efficiency.

Huawei's SingleRAN solutions will allow Vodafone to support wireless communications services on a single network infrastructure under multiple mobile communications standards (2G, 3G and LTE), while the beam-forming active antenna system will simplify antenna deployment and improve data throughput performance.
