Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, has announced that it will be embarking on a one-year road show across the region to demonstrate its capabilities in providing advanced end-to-end solutions for mobile and fixed broadband services.
The road show, together with "2011 Huawei Broadband Forum", was inaugurated here under the patronage of Dr Mohammad Yaseen, Chairman of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), which will remain open for a week. In the event, a team of Huawei executives, experts and technical support staff come together to host an unforgettable broadband experience to key stakeholders and partners in the country.
The live on-site demonstrations will enable the customers to experience new Huawei innovations for wireless including HSPA+, LTE FDD&TDD, Wimax and SingleRAN technologies. As the number of mobile broadband users in particular continues to climb in the country, Huawei believes that subscribers will increasingly look for low tariffs with unlimited high-speed access while operators will require network capabilities that allow them to accommodate the expansion pressures of mobile broadband. The road show-held under the theme of "Smarter Network for Better Life"-serves as an important part of the company's efforts to lead broadband forward.
"By providing a hands-on experience of new mobile and fixed broadband services, the road show will offer a glimpse into Huawei's vision for highly-efficient and flexible next-generation technology. These innovations will ultimately bring down operator costs and provide a better experience for the region's consumers," said Leo Xu, Vice President of Middle East Region, Huawei. Broadband is widely regarded as a key indicator of national competitiveness and economic development. According to estimates, a 10 percent increase in broadband penetration translates into 1.3 percent GDP growth.-PR
