Innovative telecom operator, VIVA Bahrain, and Huawei, a leading global ICT solutions provider, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a state-of-the-art Innovation Centre that will enable and facilitate the latest technology development for all industries and sectors across the kingdom.
This strategic cooperation between both parties will also seek to further enhance VIVA’s customer experience.
The MoU was signed by Eng Ulaiyan Al Wetaid, VIVA Bahrain CEO, and Paul Fengnan, Huawei’s Bahrain country general manager, during one of the world’s biggest technology events, GITEX 2015, recently held in Dubai.
This was VIVA’s fourth participation in GITEX, where the telecom operator showcased its range of internet, data connectivity, mobility and Information & Communications Technology (ICT) offerings.
Mr Al Wetaid said: “Our strategic cooperation with Huawei envisions the establishment of an Innovation Centre providing the latest technology to nurture and empower businesses from all sectors in Bahrain.
“It additionally reinforces our commitment to enrich our customer experience. Through this agreement, Huawei will also support VIVA to streamline network capabilities and management processes enabling us to continue being at the forefront with the latest technology both in terms of execution and service delivery.”
Under the new agreement, Huawei will work with VIVA Bahrain to fulfil its network evolution requirements, by maximising the efficiency of the operator’s existing network. Through its recommendations of future network technologies, Huawei will support VIVA in developing and exploring new solutions and applications for indoor deep coverage, Cloud services and much more.
Additionally, Huawei will also collaborate with VIVA on talent development in the ICT sector to continue attracting able recruits and offer them training on advanced ICT technologies and solutions.
