Ufone was a subsidiary of PTCL (Pakistan Telecom Company

Limited) the largest operator in Pakistan. Since the transnational

operator Etisalat took over PTCL last year, Ufone has become a

subsidiary of Etisalat. Ufone has a fast growing base of over 10

million subscribers thanks to its successful operations. In September

2006, Ufone selected Huawei to deploy the nationwide GSM

network at a contract value of above 550 million US dollars. Ufone

adopted Huawei's new-generation EnerG GSM solution, including

All-IP core network and BTS, to construct a GSM network covering

1,500 cities and towns of Pakistan.

Milestones

In November 2006, Ufone project was going on successfully, with

hundreds of BTSs delivered in compliance with the RFI (Ready for

installation) monthly.

In September 2006, Ufone awarded a contract worth 550 million

US dollars to Huawei for the construction of a GSM network

covering 1,500 cities and towns nationwide.

In 2004, Ufone entered into cooperation with Huawei in an

intelligent network project.

Meeting the need of ultra-fast growth of subscribers

As one of the fastest growing mobile communication markets in

the world, Pakistan is the target of international operators. Ufone

spent less than 4 months attracting more than 1 million mobile

subscribers. In order to meet the need of rapid growth of

subscribers and support its marketing strategy, Ufone needs a

partner to support its rapid expansion urgently. Ufone expects the

partner has the capacity of fast network deployment and delivery,

cutting-edge technology, and long-term investment protection to

expand its existing old GSM network.

The innovative series of GSM BTS product family introduces such

3G technologies as IP architecture, multi-carrier, high-efficiency

power amplifier, enhanced interference combination and elimination,

PBT and other RF technologies. All of that give the BTS products

greater transmitting power of 80-watt and higher static single

receiving sensitivity (-112.5 dBm), which increase coverage

radius by at least 20%, and reduce up to 30% site number at

the same coverage. The future-oriented All-IP platform is

designed to realize the smooth evolution from 2G to 3G, the

stronger capability of service support, and lower investments

of the entire network.

Huawei' new-generation outdoor macro BTS, BTS3012AE,

is designed to work in the wide operating temperature range

and powerful environmental adaptation. So it is well suited to

the hot and dry environment in Pakistan. In Islamabad, the

capital of Pakistan, this kind of BTS runs properly in the day-

and-night temperature difference up to 20 . This BTS has

enabled faster deployment for its large capacity and wide

coverage. These characteristics make the BTS3012AE very

popular.

Quick and quality delivery won trust

Huawei has set up an efficient joint project team together

with senior experts and engineering technicians from Ufone.

Thanks to the careful project organization, the construction of

the GSM network is progressing as scheduled and has

entered the delivery stage. The site processes and project

management are scheduled and implemented in hours,

which is a new record on the Pakistan communication history.

In November 2006, Huawei completed hundreds of RFI site

construction by turnkey way including civil engineering,

satisfying Ufone's need of the monthly increment of 1

million subscribers.

Close cooperation for win-win

Etisalat, Ufone's parent company, is an active transnational

operator based on the Middle East. As early as 2003,

Huawei constructed the first 3G network in the Middle East

for Etisalat. In June 2005, Etisalat signed a memorandum for

establishing the strategic partnership with Huawei. Etisalat is

on a smooth approach to internationalization, and Huawei

has grown together with the operator in this course and

strengthened its strategic partnership on a close cooperation

basis.

In 2005, Huawei's sales revenues in Pakistan amounted to

270 US dollars. As of the end of 2006, Huawei has become

the largest telecommunication supplier of Pakistan with its

sales increasing by 200%. Huawei has successfully

established good cooperation with the major operators in

Pakistan.

"The previous network roll-out was also the single

largest plan in the history of Pakistan and this time

again we are keeping the precedence. With

Huawei's EnerG GSM solution, we have been able to

provide more high-speed wireless data service, and

thus further enhance our service offerings to Ufone

subscribers.
