China GrenTech says that it has won the indoor coverage subcontract from Huawei to provide 70% of the wireless indoor coverage solution for the PTML GSM 900/1800 expansion project (phase 5) that Huawei is constructing in Pakistan.

PTML, operating under the brand name of Ufone, is the second largest wireless communication operator in Pakistan and a subsidiary of the UAE based Etisalat.

The cooperation between Huawei, one of the largest base station equipment manufacturers in China, and Ufone commenced last year. Huawei will map out nationwide GSM network in Pakistan. Upon completion, Ufone's expanded GSM network will cover over 1,500 cities and towns throughout Pakistan. GrenTech as a qualified supplier for Huawai will apply its accumulated experiences in wireless coverage solution to Ufone's GSM expansion project and provide high quality products and services to customers in Pakistan.
