Marlon Johnson, senior vice president Brands and Communication said that Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology solutions provider, is their technical partner on several projects, including the world-class 4G-LTE, a wireless\u00a0 communication network of high-speed data for mobile phones and data terminals.<\/p>\n
\u201cHuawei furnished the technical design and supplied the 4G-LTE infrastructure and hardware for us install\u00a0 – all of which will be ready for roll-out this month, December.\u00a0 Mid 2014 will see 4G-LTE also operational on Grand Bahama, Abaco and Eleuthera and other major islands shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso, for high-usage public spaces, Huawei designed an \u2018in-build\u2019 solution to expand the facilities to allow mobile phone usage in heavy traffic areas such as Concourses \u2018B\u2019 and \u2018C\u2019 at the Lynden Pindling International Airport, major hotels, the Thomas A.

\nHuawei provided the technology solution that led to the replacement of the company\u2019s CDMA outdoor telephone infrastructure that caters to visitors to The Bahamas.\u00a0 And in conjunction with BTC, the transmission technology for the police CCTV network.<\/p>\n
Huawei technical solutions facilitated the upgrade to the Bahamas Domestic Submarine Network International (BDSNi).\u00a0 This system links more than 20 sites between Bahamas and Haiti and stretches across about 3,500 kilometres.<\/p>\n
Its presence ensures a robust telecommunications network, meeting the expanding requirements of e-Commerce, e-Education, e-Trade and e-Government and enabling connectivity and ability to implement new inter-island services to meet expanding regional demand, for a future proof platform.<\/p>\n
\u201cHuawei has presence in over a 140 countries, and in addition to their reputation as a leading global information and communications technology solutions provider, it is one of the top phone device vendors in the world, finding success by matching the quality and design appeal of the bigger brand names at much more competitive pricing,\u201d said Mr. Johnson.<\/p>\n
The Huawei Ascend P6 smartphone has a customized Android-based operating system and a reed-thin design to combine beauty with brains.\u00a0 Its ultra-modern, sleek micro-thin space-age design reflects its status as a relative newcomer to the world stage.<\/p>\n
The Ascend P6 has 2 cameras and the 8 mega pixel rear camera has a large 2.0 aperture, designed to capture more light, for bright clear photos even in dim conditions.\u00a0 Take pictures of yourself and others with the 5 mega pixel front facing camera, even close-ups and shoot Video for playback in 1080p High Definition.<\/p>\n
