Morocco’s leading mobile provider and Fujitsu announced on Wednesday the creation of a new ICT platform for the company’s Next Generation Intelligent Network (NGIN) 3G system in the country.
Analysts said the move is likely to continue Meditel’s push to bolster its 3G market as users continue to push for broader and better options.
“Meditel has been looking for a way to increase its productivity and product development, so this could be a great move by them and for Fujitsu to get a larger footprint in Morocco,” said Ibrahim Said.
According to the companies’ statement, “Meditel is using Fujitsu technology as the foundation of its next-generation network technology, and to underpin its growth strategy.”
Meditel said it chose Fujitsu “on the strength of its highly-reliable platform products, led by its PRIMEQUEST mission-critical servers based on mainframe heritage, combined with the company’s solid services organization in Morocco and other locations around the world.
“The deal with Meditel demonstrates the strength of Fujitsu’s platform products as an optimal infrastructure for deployment in ICT systems that demand the highest levels of reliability and scalability.”
Said added that Morocco as a whole is moving toward data services and if successful “this will enable more customers to receive the products and services that they have long wanted.”
