Huawei Lands Another European Deal

Ray Le Maistre writes on Light Reading:

Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. has cemented its position as one of the most important telecom equipment vendors in the U.K. by landing a deal with Opal Telecom Ltd. , which plans to install its own broadband access equipment in up to 1,000 BT Group plc local exchanges in the U.K.

Opal is a subsidiary of major BT competitor The Carphone Warehouse Group plc , which recently launched a "free broadband for life" offer to U.K. consumers that has met with significant demand from the British public. Now Carphone is building its own broadband capabilities, through the local loop unbundling (LLU) process, to meet that demand on its own network, and not have to rely on BT's infrastructure.
