­Zain Kuwait and Huawei have announced plans to launch a Joint Innovation Center which will serve as a research hub for the advancement of LTE technologies and associated applications for Zain's mobile customers in Kuwait and across the region.

Both Zain and Huawei will be investing capital in the construction of the Center with the two companies also bringing together a team of engineers and other staff to lead the Center's work.

Mr. Omar Al Omar, CEO of Zain Kuwait, said: "The center aims at enhancing the overall LTE experience throughout Zain's Middle East networks, allowing customers to browse the internet through their smartphones faster than before. Zain looks very positively on collaborations with successful outcome like Huawei and plans to pursue further partnerships to ensure that its customers receive the best services."

Amongst the goals for the new Joint Innovation Center will be the testing of new LTE-compatible services and applications, as well as the development of sophisticated processes that can be used to measure subscribers' quality of service and perform more robust customer-experience analysis.

Zain had initially partnered with Huawei in launching LTE services in Kuwait in November 2012. Zain and Huawei expanded their LTE partnership after the deployment of earlier 2G & 3G networks in the country.
