NetOne receives Huawei kit through Exim Bank of China deal

NetOne is reported to have begun receiving part of US$280 million worth of equipment from China to expand its mobile broadband project.

Last year, Zimbabwe finance minister Patrick Chinamasa signed a deal with Exim Bank of China in which the bank would pay for equipment from Huawei Technologies on behalf of NetOne.

NetOne managing director Reward Kangai said last week that the first batch of equipment had arrived from China, and would be put to use to deliver 2G, 3G, and 4G services.
