International Telecommunications provider, ZTE Corporation has announced the launch of ZTE’s Network Operation Centre (NOC), in order to deliver a superior network operation and maintenance service.
ZTE Uganda is currently working with MTN Uganda to provide its network with a full scope of managed services for its equipment from various telecommunication equipment providers.
The total number of network elements will be increased from over 4000 to over 5000 by the year 2019.
This NOC is the most advanced in Uganda and will serve the entire MTN Uganda network.
The establishment and opening of the NOC will ensure MTN’s leading performance in the local market, improve network quality, simplify network management and fortify a solid foundation of deepening and widening business exchange between China and Uganda, thus creating a new means of cooperation that is in pace with modern times.
MTN Uganda and ZTE Uganda have been highly praised by Mr. Babak Fouladi, due to their close cooperation and the result of the MS project in 2016.
