"Mobyland is committed to providing a high-quality mobile broadband service for our customers in Poland, and we are excited to partner with Huawei to introduce Poland's first commercial LTE/EPC network," said Adam Kuriański, the President of CenterNet and the Board Member of Mobyland. "Huawei is one of the few providers in the world that is capable of delivering such an end-to-end commercial LTE/EPC solution."
The first phase of commercial LTE network was deployed by software-upgrading Mobyland' s existing 2G network, based on Huawei equipment, covering Poland' s major cities such as Warsaw, Katowice, Lodz. The high-quality and rapid network deployment demonstrates that Huawei' s mobile network solution highlights smooth evolution in the future and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) saving.
Refarming Mobyland and CenterNet extant 2G bands, such as 1800MHz, will allow for greater performance across bands. This, in turn, will enable the LTE network to improve spectrum efficiency, enhance coverage quality, reduce the quantity of sites, and decrease carbon emissions. It results in a reduced TCO for mobile broadband operators.
"In addition to spurring the development of the LTE industry and ancillary technologies, Huawei closely cooperates with leading operators worldwide to explore new business models and to enlarge potential business opportunities," said Ying Weimin, President of LTE Product Line, Huawei. "Using a combination of existing wireless bands and new bands, Huawei is able to provide customized and competitive mobile broadband solutions to our customers. This approach results in a win-win for operators, end users and the LTE industry."
As a leading provider of end-to-end mobile broadband solutions, Huawei shares its patent and standards achievements in LTE with industry partners in an effort to build an open, cooperative, and harmonious LTE industry ecosystem. To date, Huawei has won 14 commercial LTE contracts, where one of them relates to Mobyland network, and has partnered with leading operators in Europe, North America, Asia Pacific and the Middle East to deploy over 60 LTE/EPC trial networks around the world.

Weakness in the Microwave Transmission Market Continued in Second Quarter, According to Dell'Oro Group
Ericsson, Huawei and Alcatel-Lucent are Market Leaders.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., -- According to a newly published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, the point-to-point microwave equipment market experienced a second consecutive quarter of decline in what is typically a seasonally strong quarter, as it dipped to a little over $1 billion during the second quarter of 2010.
"We noticed the microwave market slowing down during the first quarter of the year, but believed that it could improve in the second quarter with the help of seasonal spending which is common in the telecom equipment market," said Jimmy Yu, Sr. Director of Microwave Transmission research at Dell'Oro Group. "Instead, we found the second quarter was overcome by factors that weakened it: a volatile euro-to-US dollar exchange rate, decelerating purchases by a WiMAX operator, and deployment delays due to a new government security requirement in India," Yu added.
The report indicates that Ericsson continued to hold the largest market share in the quarter, trailed closely by Huawei. Huawei gained 5 percentage points of market share year-over-year, garnering the second highest microwave revenue in the second quarter. Alcatel-Lucent rounded out the top three vendors with steady growth in its packet microwave product.

Huawei hasn't announced when the phone will start shipping or what it will cost, only saying that the price "will be very attractive."
The company is planning a launch event for Sept. 2, the day before IFA officially kicks off in Berlin. The show runs until Sept. 8.
Both Huawei and its Chinese competitor ZTE have become more aggressive in the smartphone segment with lower-cost products, either working with operators or pushing their own brands, according to Roberta Cozza, principal analyst at Gartner. They will likely have a hard time competing in the high-end segment, but should be more successful in the growing lower-end segment of the smartphone market, she said.
During the second quarter, Huawei and ZTE sold 5.9 million and 5.5 million phones, respectively, worldwide, compared to 2.5 million and 3.7 million phones during the same period in 2009, according to Gartner.

China-based ZTE and Huawei Technologies, which have offered handsets and network interface cards for mobile ISDB-T TV services in Brazil, Argentina and Chile, and will launch in other South American countries, could see their market positions challenged by Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics and Sony Ericsson, according to sources from Taiwan's handset makers.
The international brand vendors are expected to break into the market with high-end models initially, and work their way down with products at lower price points, the sources said.
ISDB-T TV services, which are already popular in the three mentioned markets, are expected to soon reach other countries on the continent including Uruguay, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela with potential market size estimated at 300 million subscribers.
In Brazil, which was the earliest of the South American countries to adopt the technology, more than 40 cities and 70 million users are currently mobile digital TV ready.
