Ufone was a subsidiary of PTCL (Pakistan Telecom Company

Limited) the largest operator in Pakistan. Since the transnational

operator Etisalat took over PTCL in 2006, Ufone has become a

subsidiary of Etisalat. Ufone has a fast growing base of over 10

million subscribers thanks to its successful operations.

In September 2006, Ufone selected Huawei to deploy the

nationwide GSM network at a contract value of above USD550

million. Ufone adopted Huawei's new-generation EnerG GSM

solution, including All-IP core network and BTS, to construct a GSM

network covering 1,500 cities and towns of Pakistan.

Milestones

In November 2006, Ufone project was going on successfully, with

hundreds of BTSs delivered in compliance with the RFI (Ready for

installation) monthly.

In September 2006, Ufone awarded a contract worth USD550

million to Huawei for the construction of a GSM network covering

1,500 cities and towns nationwide.

In 2004, Ufone entered into cooperation with Huawei in an

intelligent network project.

Meeting the need of fast subscriber growth

As one of the fastest growing mobile communication markets in

the world, Pakistan becomes the target of international operators.

Ufone spent less than 4 months attracting more than 1 million

mobile subscribers. In order to meet the need of rapid growth of

subscribers and support its marketing strategy, Ufone needs a

partner to support its rapid expansion urgently. Ufone expects the

partner has the capacity of fast network deployment and delivery,

cutting-edge technology, and long-term investment protection to

expand its existing old GSM network.

The innovative GSM BTS product family introduces such 3G

technologies as IP architecture, multi-carrier, high-efficiency power

amplifier, enhanced interference combination and elimination, PBT

and other RF technologies. All these offer the BTS products greater

transmitting power of 80-watt and higher static single

receiving sensitivity (-112.5 dBm), which increase coverage

radius by at least 20%, and reduce up to 30% sites for the

same coverage. The future-oriented All-IP platform is designed

to realize smooth evolution from 2G to 3G, the stronger

capability of service support, and lower investments of the

entire network.

Huawei's new-generation outdoor macro BTS, BTS3012AE,

is designed to work in a wide range of operating

temperatures and various environments. So it is well suited to

the hot and dry environment in Pakistan. In Islamabad, the

capital of Pakistan, this kind of BTS runs properly in the day-

and-night temperature difference up to 20 . This BTS has

enabled faster deployment for its large capacity and wide

coverage. These characteristics make the BTS3012AE very

popular.

Quick and quality delivery

Huawei has set up an efficient joint project team together

with senior experts and engineering technicians from Ufone.

Thanks to the careful project organization, the construction of

the GSM network is progressing as scheduled and has

entered the delivery stage. The site construction processes

and project management are scheduled and implemented by

hour, which set up a new record in the Pakistan

communication history. In November 2006, Huawei

completed the construction of hundreds of RFI sites by

turnkey way including civil engineering, satisfying Ufone's

need of the monthly increment of 1 million subscribers.

Close win-win cooperation

Etisalat, Ufone's parent company, is an active transnational

operator based in the Middle East. As early as 2003, Huawei

constructed the first 3G network in the Middle East for

Etisalat. In June 2005, Etisalat signed a memorandum for

establishing a strategic partnership with Huawei. As Etisalat

is moving towards internationalization, Huawei has been

growing together with the operator and strengthened the

strategic partnership.

In 2005, Huawei's sales revenues in Pakistan amounted to

USD270 million. At the end of 2006, the sales have

increased by 200%. Huawei has become the largest

telecommunication supplier of Pakistan and established good

partnership with the major operators in Pakistan.

"The previous network roll-out was also the single

largest plan in the history of Pakistan and this time

again we are keeping the precedence. With

Huawei's EnerG GSM solution, we have been able to

provide more high-speed wireless data service, and

thus further enhance our service offerings to Ufone

subscribers."
