Nokia Siemens Networks Wins 3G Contract in Vietnam

Nokia Siemens Networks says that it has won a 3G radio network supply contract from Vietnamese operator, Viettel. Product deliveries begin this month. Under the contract, Nokia Siemens Networks will provide the hardware, software and services required to build and manage the network, including skills training for Viettel's team.

No other details were provided.

In June, ZTE said that it had won 20% of a 3G supply contract with Viettel, and earlier this month, Huawei was reported to have won a contract for 3,000 3G base stations.

Estimates from the Mobile World shows that Viettel ended Q1 '09 with 21.7 million customers, representing a market share of just under 30%.
