A new five-year agreement between Vodafone and Huawei will expand the operator group’s Single Radio Access Network (SingleRAN) for its “Project Spring” Phase 1 programme across the world.

Under this programme, Huawei will deliver a number of network enhancement projects including both products and services for Vodafone radio access networks in 15 countries including the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Romania, Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa, Mozambique, Lesotho, DRC and Ghana.

These projects will use Huawei’s SingleRAN solutions and beam-forming Active Antenna System to expand and strengthen Vodafone’s mobile coverage, enhance customer experience and improve operational efficiency. Huawei’s SingleRAN solutions will allow Vodafone to support wireless communications services on a single network infrastructure, under multiple mobile communications standards (2G, 3G, and LTE), while the beam-forming Active Antenna System will greatly simplify the antenna deployment and improve data throughput performance.
