Huawei, (pronounced who-are-we), is a Chinese Telecoms giant who has hit the headlines this week because they have offered to install a mobile phone network on the London Underground in time for the 2012 Olympics: Free of charge.
The gesture is said to be a gift from one Olympic nation to another according to the Sunday Times and is said to be worth about £50 million. The company has offered to install transmitters along the ceilings of the tunnels, and will earn any future income from the maintenance of the equipment. It has been confirmed by Transport for London that work has begun on wiring up the Underground with mobile phone transmitters, but there has been no confirmation of Huawei’s involvement.
