Ecuador’s mobile operator Corporacion Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CNT) has selected Alcatel-Lucent to deploy 4G LTE network in Ecuador. CNT is deploying Alcatel-Lucent’s LTE solution to provide 4G connectivity to cities of Guayaquil, Cuenca, Machala and Loja, as well as most of the major cities in Ecuador´s Pacific Coast and Southern area.
Agreement follows successful trial in Amazonas and Estadio areas of Quito conducted earlier this year by Alcatel-Lucent and CNT.
CNT deploys Alcatel-Lucent’s 4G LTE base stations and the 5620 Service Aware Manager (5620 SAM).
The new network will provide the increased capacity of high-speed mobile broadband to enable a range of services and application over mobile devices at download speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps) and upload speeds of 40 Mbps.
