Huawei wins CAT deal
Chinese telecom equipment supplier Huawei Technologies yesterday won a deal to install CAT Telecom's optical-fibre network in the western, central and northern areas of Thailand.
Huawei became the second Chinese vendor to snare a slice of CAT's project to wire the whole country with a Bt1.88-billion fibre-optic network in two years. Huawei's e-auction bid of Bt484.5 million was the lowest and well under the reference price of Bt605 million.The other contenders were Marubeni (Thailand) at Bt489 million, Siemens at Bt555 million, Jasmine Telecom Systems at Bt577.8 million and Ericsson (Thailand) at Bt597.8 million. The state agency started the tender by putting the South up for grabs on Wednesday. ZTE (Thailand) nailed that deal with a quote of Bt169.86 million versus the reference price of Bt212 million.
