Sotelco, the Cambodian subsidiary of Russia's VimpelCom has signed a contract to build a GSM network in Cambodia with China's Huawei. As part of this new framework agreement, Huawei will deploy a nationwide GSM mobile phone network for Sotelco over the next five years.
“Companies of VimpelCom Group are always committed to delivering their customers the broadest choice of superior mobile products and services, the best coverage and unparalleled customer service,” said Gael Campan, General Manager of Sotelco, Ltd. “Sotelco selected Huawei for this key rollout project because of its expertise and proven track record in delivering quality mobile phone networks. Huawei's technological expertise will help us deliver an excellent mobile experience to our customers.”
Huawei began its operation in Cambodia in 1999 and the company now has around 200 employees of which more than 70 per cent have been recruited locally.
No financial details were provided.
According to data from the Mobile World analysts, the country ended the first half of this year with an estimated 3.2 million mobile phone users - representing a population penetration level of just 22%. Despite the low penetration level, there are currently four operational mobile networks, with three more networks licensed.
VimpelCom brought a 90% stake in Sotelco earlier this year for US$28 million.
