Huawei & KPN 10 year collaboration

When Huawei set foot in the Netherlands in 2004 , it did so to huge media attention . A deal worth millions of euro with Telfort , a Dutch mobile telecommunication company and since 2005 a subsidiary of KPN , to deliver an advanced wireless 3G network . To Huawei this was an extraordinary achievement to breakthrough in a market that was occupied for decades by the traditional suppliers . The reliability and stability of the ICT infrastructure in a datadriven economy and society is of great strategic importance , and entrusting the delivery of such a vital data transport network component to a partner that was , at that time , relatively unknown in Europe was a bold step .
Since then , more than 10 million residents in the Netherlands are now directly and indirectly ire enjoying the services provided by Huawei ’ s networks , software , smartphones , tablets and
business solutions for their digital connectivity and internet access . After 11 years of continuous
customer focused teams , KPN & Huawei worked as one strong team to realise these transformation
