This will allow the mobile operator to focus on the network’s next stages of technological innovation and launch new services, said Vodafone Romania CEO Inaki Berroeta.
Around 70 Vodafone Romania employees will join Huawei as part of the team that will take over these operations, says a press release from the mobile operator.
Huawei was the operator’s provider of services and equipment in important projects like the launch of its 3G UMTS 900 MHz network, said Vodafone Romania CTO Babak Fouladi.
Vodafone Romania is the local market’s second-largest mobile operator, with 8.33 million clients at the end of 2011.
Huawei is one of the world’s top IT&C solution providers, with revenues over $28 billion in 2010. The company’s products have been implemented in more than 100 countries by 45 of the 50 most important telecom operators in the world.
