NEC Corporation announced today that it has signed an agreement with the Axiata Group to provide its iPASOLINK Series of ultra-compact microwave communication systems. The global framework agreement covers the Axiata Group telecom operators in Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Bangladesh. Earlier, NEC was providing the iPASOLINK Series under individual arrangements to XL Axiata (Indonesia) and Dialog (Sri Lanka) in the Axiata Group.
NEC is confident that operators' investment in mobile network infrastructure will remain brisk, especially in the Asian markets where the Axiata Group operates in view of the surging mobile traffic as LTE services and smartphones become increasingly popular in the region.
Toshiya Matsuki, Chief Executive Officer of NEC Asia Pacific
It's a great honor for us to be chosen by the Axiata Group as its strategic supplier. NEC is strongly committed to making further contributions to enhance the Axiata Group's mobile networks, while trying to achieve higher functionality, an expanded product line-up and better maintenance services for the iPASOLINK Series.
