Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) has combined its Middle East and African business regions into one new regional organization, and has appointed Igor Leprince as the head.<\/p>\n
The change means that Nokia Siemens Networks has expanded its Asia and Middle East regional cluster to include business in Africa.<\/p>\n
The new Asia, Middle East & Africa cluster (AMEA) will manage the company\u2019s customer operations in MEA, India, Asia Pacific, Greater China and Japan.<\/p>\n
The move will allow the company to serve its large multi-country operators such as Bharti Airtel, Etisalat, Qtel, Saudi Telecom Company (STC), Vodacom and Zain in a more integrated manner both within the MEA region and across AMEA operations, NSN said.<\/p>\n
Leprince, who was leading the company\u2019s business in the Middle East until 31 December 2012, has assumed the role of head of the new MEA grouping from 1 January 2013.<\/p>\n
\u201cMEA is a key market for Nokia Siemens Networks, where we have identified an increasing demand from operators for advanced mobile broadband technologies including TD-LTE and FDD-LTE technologies,\u201d Leprince said.<\/p>\n
Nokia Siemens Networks operates in 30 countries in the combined MEA region and is committed to helping operators across the region address their mobile broadband needs.<\/p>\n
