[Shenzhen, China, 9 June 2009] Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. ("Huawei"), a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, today announced the launch of the world' s first commercial WiMAX distributed base station (DBS) with 4T4R (four transmitters and four receivers) features.

With the enhanced coverage capabilities and capacity of the new 4T4R WiMAX DBS, operators will be able to reduce the number of base station sites in certain areas and lower their total cost of ownership. The 4T4R WiMAX DBS will increase operator efficiency by supporting multi-standard convergence. It can also be configured into two 2T2R base stations which will enable the 4T4R WiMAX DBS to handle different coverage configurations.

Mr. Tang Xinhong, Vice President of CDMA & WiMAX, Huawei Wireless, said: "The world' s first WiMAX distributed base station provides substantial improvements to the coverage and performance of WiMAX networks. As a leading industry innovator, Huawei is committed to support the development of the WiMAX industry by providing solutions like the new 4T4R WiMAX DBS, which will help operators deploy networks that are much more efficient and cost-effective."

Huawei' s state-of-the-art 4T4R WiMAX DBS is based on Huawei' s fourth-generation base station platform, and also incorporates green technologies such as natural cooling and a high efficiency power amplifier. This allows for the 4T4R WiMAX DBS to greatly reduce the energy consumption and achieve better cost efficiency.

As of the first quarter of 2009, Huawei has been awarded 41 commercial WiMAX 802.16e contracts worldwide including Globe in the Philippines, STC in Saudi Arabia, Mobilink and Augere in Pakistan, and M?ditel in Morocco.
