Huawei Technologies has been selected by T-Mobile International to provide Packet Switched Core Networks (PS-CN) across five key European countries: Germany, the UK, Austria, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. The contract requires Huawei to replace existing networks with its next-gen PS-CN equipment.

"We believe Huawei to be a reliable and trustworthy partner for us, and a company that, we hope, can be a long-term partner," said Joachim Horn, CTO, T-Mobile International. "By deploying Huawei's advanced solutions, T-Mobile is looking forward to providing excellent and more reliable services to its customers and to achieve its strategic business objectives."

"We are delighted to continue working with T-Mobile and we look forward to commencing work on this latest project," said William Xu, the President of Huawei Europe Region and Executive Vice President of Huawei . "At Huawei, besides providing advanced solutions with large capacity, high performance, intelligent billing and full 2G/3G integration, we are committed to providing fast delivery and excellent service, ensuring a win-win outcome for T-Mobile."
