Motorola Receives $90-mn GSM Contract from BSNL

Motorola has received a $90 mn contract to supply GSM network equipment to

Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL). The contract will result in an additional capacity

of 2.3 mn subscribers to BSNL's existing GSM network in the southern region.

Under the terms of the contract, Motorola will ship GSM network equipment and

provide a network services program including both software and hardware support.

Supply of equipment had begun in April. This will significantly help BSNL in the

required capacity enhancement. BSNL's existing network in its southern region

already includes 2G equipment supplied by Motorola.
