Telenor Myanmar and Huawei Win Global Telecoms Business Mobile Infrastructure Innovation Award

Telenor Myanmar Limited (refer to as TML) and Huawei have been announced as a 2016 Global Telecoms Business Innovation award winner in the "Mobile Infrastructure Innovation" category for the "9-Sector Solution Unleashing Traffic in Myanmar" project. The joint project was recognized by the Global Telecoms Business judges as an "impressive" project that delivers high network capacity at much lower cost for accommodating climbing traffic demand, and accelerates development of mobile broadband in Myanmar. The award recognizes Huawei's 9-Sector solution as a technological breakthrough and pragmatic practice of TML building large "pipe" for insatiable data demand. The 9-Sector solution increases site capacity to 2.2 times of a traditional 3-sector site by using spatial multiplexing technology with industry-leading triple-beam antenna. Without adding any new site or spectrum, the 9-Sector solution maximizes site efficiency and helps TML proactively accommodate the capacity demand brought by current high traffic, as well as future massive data growth. "We're honored to be recognized for our work with TML on multi-sector innovation, particularly amongst such tough competition." said Zhang Liman, General Manager of Huawei Myanmar Office. "To provide better service and experience for users is the aspiration Telenor and Huawei hold in common. We have been working closely to make this innovation and greatly improve the spectrum efficiency. We will continue to expand this cooperation to serve mobile users better in Myanmar." The Global Telecoms Business Innovation Awards are presented annually to the most innovative projects in the telecommunications industry, involving vendors and their partners around the world.
