ZTE Snaps Up Two UMTS Deals

Chinese equipment vendor ZTE Corp has announced it has won two UMTS network supply contracts — one with Spice Nepal Private Ltd (SNPL, or Mero Mobile) and the other with SkyTel in Mongolia. Under the deal with the Nepalese firm, ZTE will build a WCDMA network covering six main zones in the country, with Phase I of the project scheduled to be completed by October 2009. In Mongolia, the Chinese vendor will roll out a nationwide commercial UMTS network for SkyTel. ZTE had previously built a CDMA2000 1xEVDO network for the Mongolian operator.
