Norway 4G Network Will Be Built by China

Norway’s Telenor 4G phone network will be built by China’s Huawei. The deal is the biggest so far in 4G / LTE technology in Europe and is said to be worth $175 million / €118 million over the next five years.

The new network will replace technology currently in place by Ericsson and Nokia Siemens Networks.

Ragnar Kårhus, CEO of Telenor Norway, said, “This is the biggest upgrade of the mobile network in Norway we have ever carried out. It will create a solid base for further developing the services offered by the Telenor mobile network and the quality of those services. Our main aim is to provide customers with better, more innovative services across the country. This means better in terms of capacity, speed and stability.”.
