Nokia Siemens Networks is bringing together its business in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) as one regional organisation that covers the whole region
The company, which is expanding its Asia and Middle East operations to include business in Africa, has recently appointed Igor Leprince as head of MEA.
“MEA is a key market for Nokia Siemens Networks, where we have identified an increasing demand from operators for advanced mobile broadband technologies including TD-LTE and FDD-LTE technologies,” said Leprince.
Combining the MEA region as one would allow Nokia Siemens networks to work on improving its quality of delivery for all its operator customers across the area.
“With our focus on being the world’s specialist in mobile broadband through product innovation and quality processes, we are absolutely committed to helping our MEA customers realize their vision of becoming advanced mobile broadband providers,” Leprince added.
The new Asia, Middle East and Africa group (AMEA) will administer the company’s customer operations in MEA, India, Asia, Pacific, Greater China and Japan.
Furthermore, multi-country operators including Bharti Airtel, Etisalat, Qtel, Saudi Telecom Company (STC), Vodacom and Zain will be served by Nokia Siemens Networks within the MEA region.
