ZTE has entered into agreement with Indonesia’s Smart Telecom to supply network infrastructure equipment for the operator to launch a country-wide CDMA network.
ZTE will provide nearly 6,000 base stations to Smart Telecom covering the country with a total system capacity of over 25 million lines.
The project includes the deployment of ZTE’s wireless solutions, transmission and core network products, business platform systems, power supplies and other equipments. The new network will also allow a fast transition to a future LTE deployment.
In 2006, Smart Telecom hired ZTE as the exclusive vendor to deploy a superior CDMA network to cover the entire country.
The two companies earlier collaborated to build the world’s first commercial EV-DO Rev.B network in Bali in January 2010. GTB
