Telecom equipment vendor Huawei has assisted Telecom New Zealand to launch 4G LTE network with up to 150 Mb/s speed to mobile users in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
Huawei in a statement said that Telecom New Zealand will benefit from its convergent radio access network (RAN) technology solution – which is based on SingleRAN technology — for the network with an accompanying operations management platform.
Telecom New Zealand has made access to the 4G network free for all of its current subscribers who have 4G-capable devices.
Tim Miles, CEO of Telecom’s enterprise business arm Gen-i, said 4G would help to feed growing demand for new applications which leverage the high speeds, while the seamless integration of the 4G network with 3G, fiber and Wi-Fi into a single platform for mobility would deliver a superior overall experience for customers.
