The Chinese giant ZTE and Euskaltel will open a service center in Gijón

From these new facilities, which will employ 40 people, it will provide technological equipment and network solutions to the operator.

The Chinese telecommunications giant ZTE will open from the hand of Euskaltel (owner of Telecable) a new service center in Gijón (Asturias). From these new facilities, which will employ 40 people, it will provide technological equipment and network solutions to the operator.

Juan José Canizares, general director of ZTE for southern Europe, has stated that Gijón will be just the beginning of “an entire future massive deployment project.”

ZTE will be in charge of managing the networks after the unification of the Asturian brand and R, now merged.
The opening of the Gijón center is part of the agreement signed between ZTE at the end of last February. The operator signed a comprehensive supply and management agreement with ZTE Spain, through which the company will progressively become the reference supplier of fiber user equipment for the Euskaltel Group.

The agreement means that Euskaltel will have ZTE as a strategic partner to face its ambitious expansion plan in five new markets in Spain. The operator is already carrying out deployments in Navarra, León, Cantabria and La Rioja, thanks to its geographical proximity, in addition to Catalonia, through the RACCtel+ brand, the result of its agreement with the RACC.o Euskaltel maintains strong roots in these three markets, where it is a leader: in the Basque Country, through its Euskaltel brand; in Galicia, with the R brand; and in Asturias, through the Telecable brand.

Thus, the operator hopes to incorporate 90,000 new customers in their new markets.
