Chinese telecommunications equipment provider Huawei recently announced that it has signed a cooperation agreement with Hong Kong telecom operator PCCW. Huawei will help PCCW build the first CDMA 2000 1X/1xEV-DO Rev mobile network in Hong Kong, according to a press release by Huawei on June 5, adding that the network will substantially reduce costs and facilitate smooth transition to 3G and newer-technology networks for PCCW.

Pursuant to the agreement, Huawei will deliver its fourth-generation CDMA-enabled BTS (Base Transceiver Station) solution - featuring the advantages of multi-standard convergence, high integration, All-IP (Internet Protocol), energy saving, and environmental protection - to PCCW, according to the press release. With the completion of this network, users can access CDMA services via PCCW's mobile network using their own mobile phones while traveling in Hong Kong.
