Entel SA has signed ZTE to build out the first large-scale FTTx network in Bolivia covering all the 4 regions.

The network will offer fast broadband connectivity to consumers and businesses in the country. Entel will deploy ZTE’s ZXA10 C300 next-generation, large-capacity, high-density, and convergent full-service access platform to meet the requirements for rapid construction and smooth evolution of networks.

The ZXA10 C300 platform supports smooth upgrade to NG PON and WDM PON technologies. When completed, Entel’s FTTx network will cover most areas of Bolivia, reducing the digital divide between different regions.

Entel is the largest communications operator in Bolivia, ranking first in wireless market. Entel has about 4 million terminal users, and provides GSM, UMTS, 700 MHz LTE, and other wireless services. Through the FTTx project that will be launched this year, Entel will greatly improve the wired broadband access services.

Zhu Yongxing, General Manager of ZTE's Fixed Network Product Line, said, "We will help Entel provide better broadband services for customers to achieve sustainable growth and improve its competitive strength in Bolivia. In addition, we will help Entel roll out broadband services to most areas of the country, improving the country’s broadband penetration rate for the benefit of citizens."

Before this project, ZTE built the two largest GPON networks in South America: the nationwide GPON network of ANTEL in Uruguay and the nationwide FTTH network of ETB in Colombia.
