Sinotel Technologies, the provider of wireless telecommunications infrastructure and solutions in China, says the group has qualified as China Mobile’s design vendor for its wireless network infrastructures.

In a bid to streamline its wireless infrastructure development, China’s mobile carriers are moving towards segregating the process of building its network coverage into three segments; Procurement of equipment, Design and Installation.

The telcos have started central procurement in late 2008 and have just completed the process of qualifying vendors capable of providing design solutions.

Being a qualified design vendor, Sinotel will now be allowed to bid for design contracts across all provinces in China where China Mobile operates. China Mobile will reassess the qualification of all the vendors annually.
