Nokia has won a 100 million euro deal from mobile operator Wataniya Telecom to upgrade its network in Kuwait. The project, slated to be completed early next year, involves supplying state-ofthe-art radio and core networks technology to upgrade the Kuwaiti company’s network. Wataniya Telecom, which began operations in late 1999, now has 860,000 customers in Kuwait and more than 3 million users in Iraq, Tunisia and Algeria. The contract with Nokia is the first phase of a major modernisation plan for the company.
