Econet’s network expansion started by Ericsson (Zimbabwe)

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: A new phase of a network expansion project has been started by Swedish technology provider Ericsson for Econet Wireless Zimbabwe to allow the cellco to increase its capacity to approximately five million users by August 2010. The new network will also ensure that central Harare has full 3G coverage by the end of this month.

This network expansion is a part of a three-year frame agreement that was signed last year as per which Econet made Ericsson responsible for expansion of the core and access 2G and 3G networks as well as business support system delivery.

Transport and transmission technologies and services have been proved by Ericsson such as system integration and business consultancy.
