Huawei signed its first contract of WCDMA projects in Europe which is the place of origin of WCDMA and is also the base of world telecomm equipment giants, such as Nokia, Ericsson and Siemens. Though the amount of money is not disclosed, it is estimated that the total won' t be less than Euro 200 million.At the same day, NTCH in USA and Huawei jointly announced a mobile phone network based on CDMA 2000 and the first project of the network will be built in California and Arizona.Huawei will provide NTCH a whole set of end-to-end systems, besides basic voice service the systems offer services of text messaging and multimedia messaging and 1X data service.After waiting many years, Huawei enters the world largest telecom market in a large scale. Though Huawei had signed some contract in the market before, these were not big projects, most were related with optical networks and NGN data communications. Now Huawei makes all the world telecom equipment giants nervous, because Huawei enters their traditional sphere of influence. (see p24)
