WIND Mobile is the first wireless operator in Canada to provide this service to its customers, allowing for a better quality, clearer voice service experience.
Since 2008, Huawei has steadily grown its relationship with WIND Mobile providing core network infrastructure as well supplying devices to WIND’s line-up of consumer and business handsets. Supporting the first commercial launch of Wide Band AMR in Canada, Huawei will help WIND Mobile grow its customer base in a highly competitive landscape.
