Huawei says that it has signed a GSM network expansion contract with Digitel in the Philippines. As part of the contract, Huawei's GSM BTS will be deployed to cover the whole Manila city in the Philippines, helping to improve the congested mobile traffic and enhancing greater indoor coverage in the densely populated city.

Commenting on the current GSM network constructed by Huawei, Mr. John Joey T. Terrenal, Senior Vice-President of Digitel, said, "The GSM network implemented by Huawei has been running well since 2005. We are fully satisfied with Huawei's solutions, products and after-sales services."

"This contract marks the continuity of a long-term partnership between Digitel and Huawei, and we look forward to an even closer partnership with Digitel in the long run," said Mr. Liu Jiangfeng, Vice President of Huawei Asia Pacific Region. "With our vision to enrich people's life through communications, Huawei is committed to bringing excellent services and innovative technologies to the Philippines market through our partnership with Digitel."
