Telecom NZ awards 4G network contract to China’s Huawei

China’s Huawei Technologies has won a contract to build the 4G mobile network infrastructure for New Zealand’s biggest telecommunications company, expanding its presence in the country after receiving the cold shoulder in neighbouring Australia.

Telecom New Zealand said on Tuesday that it had tapped Huawei, the world’s No. 2 maker of telecommunications equipment, to build its network. The network will go live in Auckland, the country’s biggest city, in October, it said.
