Chinese telecom gear maker Huawei said it has acquired a deal to deploy end to end CDMA solution and services to US cable provider Cox Communications, in an undisclosed contract.

Cox, which is establishing its own 3G wireless network, is employing $300 million worth of spectrum it purchased in last year''s Federal Communications Commission's auction to build the network.

Speaking on the occasion, Stephen Bye, Cox's vice president of wireless said, “We are committed to enhancing the experience of our customers through the addition of wireless service to the Cox bundle. In working closely with Huawei's dedicated support team and through the use of its wireless technology and systems, we have made monumental strides in the development of our wireless network, enabling us to move quickly toward the launch of Cox's wireless services.”

The arrangement will see Huawei provide the CDMA equipment to build the network, which the company says will be upgradeable to the 4G wireless technology LTE, or Long Term Evolution.

Further, it will also give Huawei the foothold it has been looking to achieve in the U.S. telecom equipment market for long, but have so far failed to do so.

Commenting further, Ken Hu, Chief Sales and Service Officer of Huawei stated, “We are honored to have been selected by Cox Communications, the third largest cable provider. This project is another important milestone to us in North America, and we are committed to delivering a quality network to Cox and continuously supporting our customers with high-quality products and services.”

The services are expected to be rolled out later this year.
