Motorola has announced the deployment of a nationwide 3G mobile broadband network in Kuwait for MTC Kuwait, an MTC Group Operation, which includes High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), aiming to further increase download speeds and improve the user experience of new services.

Enhanced speed, quality and variety are what our mobile-centric subscriber base is looking for in Kuwait when it comes to broadband services, says Barrak Al Sabeeh, GM of MTC Kuwait.
 
Motorolas network solution will enable MTC to provide customers with services such as video conferencing, which is steadily gaining popularity here in the Middle East, he adds.
 
HSDPA is designed to deliver high speed mobile access, and to enable the delivery of solutions and applications to consumers and enterprise users, which is a focus market segment for MTC Kuwait.
 
With the HDSPA deployment, MTC customers who opt for 3G services will benefit from faster download speeds and capacity for streamed content. MTC will now be among the first telecom operators in the Middle East to provide these services, continues Al Sabeeh.
 
This is a significant deployment for us in the region and clearly reflects Motorolas growing success in the Middle East and the technical strength of our UMTS and HSDPA solutions, says Ali Amer, vice-president, Middle East, Africa and Pakistan, Motorola Networks & Enterprise.
