Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., provider of next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, has recorded over 100 per cent growth in its UMTS and GSM transceivers (TRXs) shipments in the first half of 2008 compared to the same period last year.
 
"In the first half of this year, we have seen an increasing number of top-tier operators partner with Huawei to deploy future-oriented networks based on our IP-based convergent mobile broadband platform. We are committed to meeting our customers' demands and help them realise potential business growth", said Wan Biao, Executive Deputy President of Huawei Wireless Product Line.

Ihab Ghattas, CBDO, MENA, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. said, "As compared to the first half of last year, Huawei's business growth has been tremendous, witnessing a 150 per cent year-on-year growth rate in the Middle Eest region, fuelled by a number of new licensing agreements with leading regional operators. The other key factor instrumental for driving market share is the increased support and confidence that Huawei's operator partners have shown in our products."
 
In the GSM space, Huawei delivered 800,000 TRXs, more than the total number of shipments for the whole of 2007 in the first six months of 2008.  400,000 TRXs were delivered in China and India alone. To date, Huawei has secured 111 UMTS/HSPA commercial contracts and continues to lead the market with 25 new contract wins in the first half of 2008.
