GLOBACOM CHAIRMAN, APRIL 2007
Globacom, Nigeria
The objective of this Nigerian operator is to build the biggest and best-quality
network in Africa. In just 3 years, Globacom added 11 million GSM/GPRS sub-
scribers, and in 2007, the company asked Alcatel-Lucent to build the first 3G
UMTS/HSPA end-to-end broadband network in West Africa. This solution is at
the core of an entire network evolution toward IP and fixed and mobile broad-
band, which will enable significant expansion in network capacity. The solution
will also provide enhanced performance and support new advanced multimedia
and converged services, such as video-on-demand and mobile data services.
Zapp, Romania
The leading broadband data mobile service provider in Romania, Zapp provides
coverage for 95 percent of the population, with the highest ARPU in the country,
and one of the lowest CAPEXs in the industry. The company’s broadband strategy
is to focus on a niche market of corporate customers. It deployed a CDMA2000
EV-DO network in 2004, then added BREW technology in 2005 and acquired
a 3G UMTS license in October 2006. It is the first prepaid wireless broadband
service in the world.
OneMAX, Dominican Republic
Greenfield operator, OneMAX, is deploying WiMAX 802.16e-2005 to bring
broadband Internet services to major cities in the Dominican Republic. It
selected WiMAX for its service differentiation so as a new entrant, it can compete
with entrenched fixed and mobile operators. It will be the first live mobile WiMAX
network in the world. The Alcatel-Lucent solution includes radio access, advanced
broadband over microwave backhaul, residential gateway and PCMCIA cards,
and professional services.
