ZTE announced that the company won a major mobile network contract from Cambodia's mobile operator Sotelco. ZTE’s wireless solutions will be deployed in Sotelco’s networks for 2G, 3G and 4G services. 

According to ZTE, its solutions will displace Huawei equipment in hundreds of sites, covering Phnom Penh and core areas of other provinces. ZTE will provide Sotelco with solutions that support GSM, UMTS, and LTE technologies on the same hardware platform, avoiding the need to run multiple hardware platforms. ZTE's offerings includes its Uni-RAN solution that supports 42Mbps HSPA+ 3G and 4G LTE services.

In 2013, Sotelco won 1900MHz frequency for 3G deployment, and will begin deploying 3G services for all subscribers in Cambodia in 2014. And also, with the support of ZTE, Sotelco will launch 4G services in 2014.
