www.WirelessFederation.com/news:Vistream, the German MVNO has selected the mobile equipment vendor ZTE for the upgradation of its GSM and UMTS network so that it can further resell its services.
Vistream which is known as an MVNO enabler, purchases in voice and data wholesale from network partner E-Plus but offers white label MVNO services using its own infrastructure.
ZTE said it will provide Vistream with network capacity for 500,000 subscribers, including an all-IP platform, ATCA (Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture) hardware infrastructure and advanced NGHLR (Next Generation Home Location Register) systems.

The project will also include geographic database disaster recovery features to help maximise the network’s reliability and lower the operator’s TCO (total cost of ownership).

Vistream said the upgradation was a part of enlarging its business across various European markets, “working in deep cooperation with various third party content providers.”
