Huawei takes 2nd spot in mobile gear

Sweden’s Ericsson lead the market with a 32 per cent share, researcher Dell’Oro said recently.

Huawei’s market share rose to 20 per cent from 11 per cent a year ago, Dell’Oro said in its quarterly market review, while market share of Nokia Siemens Networks dropped to just below Huawei. Last week Huawei won a contract to build Norway a fourth generation (4G) mobile network, replacing the older networks of Ericsson and Nokia Siemens Networks in their own backyard. The deal is the largest one so far for new LTE technology in Europe, making it a milestone for Huawei.
