The southeast Chinese cities of Xiamen and Nanping will soon enjoy higher quality networks and innovative new services following a managed services agreement between Alcatel-Lucent and Fujian Unicom – a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Unicom.

Alcatel-Lucent will manage the operator’s mobile and fixed networks in the two cities. Both are popular destinations for tourists and business visitors, adding further demand to the current explosion in Chinese broadband traffic driven by new applications and services, such as mobile gaming, video and social networking.

The agreement between the companies will enable Fujian Unicom and its parent company to reduce operation cost and focus on developing attractive new consumer services, while Alcatel-Lucent will take a broader role in the delivery of high-quality networks and services to millions of customers in Fujian.

Rajeev Singh-Molares, President, Asia Pacific, Alcatel-Lucent, said: “With our extensive experience of multi-vendor network maintenance, Alcatel-Lucent will become a single point of contact for maintaining Fujian Unicom’s networks in Xiamen and Nanping, helping reduce the complexity and costs associated with managing large networks on this scale.”
