This is the first 3G network deployed by EWNZ in New Zealand, and is the first 3G network for its majority shareholder, EWG, in the world. Moreover, it's the first 3G network constructed by Huawei in the Australasia area. Huawei, as the sole vendor, will start the first deployment phase in Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand, and target to complete the nationwide networks within the next 3 years.
