ZTE inks Tunisian network deal

Chinese vendor ZTE has signed a contract with Tunisie Telecom to deploy a national transmission network in Tunisia. Under the contract, ZTE will deploy infrastructure covering nearly two-thirds of the country, including all developed coastal regions. Upon completion, the network will allow incumbent Tunisie Telecom to offer transmission channels for mobile, ADSL and other services, and will establish a solid foundation for the telco’s future development.
