HUAWEI swaps

As part of Vodafone’s $1bn network investment, we’re busy with many programs upgrading the network. One of which is installing new equipment at all of our sites to improve performance and prepare our network for 4G.

This is achieved through the Huawei Swaps Upgrade program which commenced in 2011 and we’re well on track with the rollout.
