Huawei Wins 5-Year Managed Services Contract in Nigeria

Huawei has won a 5 year managed services contract from Etisalat in Nigeria. The contract extension is to the existing managed services agreement which has run for the past two years.

The new contract covers an expanded maintenance scope for both passive infrastructure and active infrastructure (SDH/PDH nodes). Main additions are the inclusion of site physical services, passive maintenance of core infrastructure and maintenance of both Huawei and third party SDH/PDH nodes in all areas where Huawei Radio Access Infrastructure are deployed.

Financial terms for the new managed services contract were not disclosed.

This extends Huawei long term support for Etisalat in Nigeria starting with an Establish Operate Transfer (EOT) contract initiated with a letter of intent in November 2007.
