NEC on Thursday announced that Grameenphone, part of the Telenor Group has awarded it with a new radio equipment supply contract to expand and modernize Grameenphone's existing network.
Under this contract, NEC will deploy some of the latest network technologies to ensure a seamless communications experience for more than 82 million Grameenphone subscribers, including higher modulation (4096QAM), channel aggregation (CA), multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems and traffic aggregation functions across various layers and frequency bands (microwave and millimeter bands).
These technologies will help Grameenphone to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and to provide more reliable networks with higher transmission capacity, said NEC.
NEC has supplied and deployed radio equipment to Grameenphone since 2003, in support of network stability and efficient performance. Going forward, NEC will continue to leverage its more than 120 year history as a communications leader in order to drive market evolution into the 5G and Beyond 5G eras with cutting-edge technologies.
