Huawei says it wants to maintain double-digit growth in Thailand this year through a 4th-generation long-term evolution (LTE) network and two new business groups, one for enterprises, the other for individuals, Nationmultimedia.com writes, quoting the managing director of Huawei Technologies (Thailand), Chen Rui, as calling Thailand the most important market for the Chinese company this year.

Chen went on to say, "More Huawei smartphones, for both 3G and LTE, will be available in Thailand soon, and, more importantly, at affordable prices," than added that the company expected to double its market share.

For the 4G network, especially after a spectrum auction this year, Huawei is ready to support operators in rolling out LTE infrastructure, with Chen noting, "We’re well prepared for assisting operators to roll out LTE networks and have the best local technology support team, local resources, local experience for network construction, and local services.”

He concluded by saying that the LTE-infrastructure will be the biggest and fastest among countries in the region since Thailand has a large consumer base, along with the largest investment, and high potential for adoption of wireless broadband technology.
