India’s leading private mobile phone service operator Reliance Communications (RCOM) on Thursday awarded a contract worth more than 200-million-dollars to China’s telcom solutions major Huawei for expanding its network in the country. “Under the agreement, Huawei would supply and provide deployment services for CDMA and GSM base stations, including Base Services Centres and switches, and help create top-of-the-line next generation network infrastructure,” RCOM said in a statement.
