Samsung Electronics has announced the signing of a commercial agreement with Spark New Zealand to build part of the mobile operator's 5G RAN this year. The South Korean company will supply its latest 5G New Radio solutions, including scalable Massive MIMO radios which it claims are 'simple and cost-effective to deploy, and accelerate commercial 5G availability'. 'We are pleased to have Samsung as a 5G vendor for our mobile services, not only are they able to offer us a huge amount of global best practice and network infrastructure knowledge, they can also provide a proven immersive 5G experience for our customers,' said Rajesh Singh, General Manager of Value Management of Spark New Zealand, adding: 'One of the main reasons we selected Samsung was their 5G NR solutions which deliver enhanced network capability, high quality connections, and state of the art technology.'
