\"This is kind of a deal which is considered massive in this space. Airtel<\/a> has already issued a procurement order (PO) to Huawei,\" a senior executive working with Huawei's rival company told ET. \"...the value of this deal is a major part of Airtel's overall capex budget for non-radio network.\"
The deal is part of an ongoing Airtel process to expand its National Long Distance (NLD) network which is currently run by Huawei. NLD optical transport network is considered to be crucial as it carries inter-circle and international traffic and helps manage the network capacity. It also carries internet traffic and traffic from main landing stations.
Huawei and Airtel didn’t respond to ET’s emailed queries.
The contract comes as a respite for the Chinese company which is facing huge uncertainty over its continued involvement in the Indian telecom market, especially its participation in the upcoming 5G network deployments in the country, due to allegations of its involvement in cyber-snooping on behalf of the Chinese state. Huawei has denied any wrongdoing.
The pressure on Huawei has increased over the last year or so amidst escalating Sino-Indian border tensions and question marks over its supply chain given US sanctions. In this backdrop, Huawei has been losing meaningful wireless business from even Bharti Airtel over the last 15-18 months with India’s second largest telco replacing it with European vendors in two circles.

But equally, Bharti Airtel Chairman Sunil Mittal has backed Huawei in the past, publicly called its 3G and 4G products better than its those of its European rivals rivals.
The latest deal was finalised at a time when Airtel had floated a request for proposal (RFP) with other vendors like Nokia<\/a>, Ciena and Infinera for the NLD network.
\"The RFP is on to replace Huawei's NLD network. And, now Airtel has given a big contract to Huawei, while this RFP is still on…,\" another senior industry executive closer to the process said.
The deal also comes at a time when the Indian government is preparing a list of ‘trusted sources’ under the National Security Directive for acquiring equipment for telecom networks. Experts said the move was aimed at keeping Chinese equipment makers Huawei and ZTE out of India’s 5G deployments, in line with the US and the UK which have taken steps to bar them from critical infrastructure.
But one of Huawei’s rivals warned India’s telcos of looking at short term gains by awarding the contract to the Chinese vendor.
\"India should not risk its critical telecom infrastructure again. India runs a risk of again going back to Chinese vendors or short-term cost benefits. As the border dispute situation de-escalates between India and China, India companies may rush to embrace Chinese vendors which could be a long-term issue,\" a third executive said.

华为袋300卢比从Bharti Airtel网络合同
“这是一种协议,在这个空间被认为是巨大的。附近的旅馆已经发布了一份采购订单(PO)华为,”一位高管与华为的竞争对手公司告诉等工作。“…这笔交易是一个主要的价值Airtel non-radio网络总体资本支出预算的一部分。”
这笔交易是一个持续的Airtel过程扩大全国长途(NLD)网络目前由华为。民盟光学交通网络被认为是至关重要的,因为它携带inter-circle和国际交通和帮助管理网络的能力。这也带来了网络流量和交通从主着陆。
该合同是一个喘息的机会为中国公司面临巨大的不确定性持续参与印度电信市场,尤其是其参与即将到来的5 g网络部署,由于其指控参与网络窃探代表中国的状态。华为否认有任何不当行为。
华为的压力增加了在过去一年左右的时间在中印边境的紧张局势不断升级其供应链和问号给美国的制裁。在这样的背景下,华为已经从甚至失去意义的无线业务与印度Bharti Airtel在过去15个月的第二大电信取代它与欧洲供应商在两个圆。
但同样,Bharti Airtel董事长苏尼尔•米塔尔支持华为过去,公开称其3 g和4 g产品比其欧洲竞争对手的竞争对手。
最新交易完成时的旅馆有提出建议的请求(RFP)与其他厂商诺基亚Ciena和Infinera全国民主联盟网络。
“RFP取代华为民盟的网络上。现在的旅馆给了华为的大合同,虽然这RFP仍在…,”另一位资深业内高管接近过程说。
这笔交易还正值印度政府正准备一个“可信的来源”列表下的国家安全指令获取电信网络设备。专家表示,此举旨在让中国设备制造商华为和中兴通讯印度5 g的部署,符合美国和英国已采取措施禁止关键基础设施。
但华为的竞争对手之一警告印度电信公司的短期收益,将合同授予中国供应商。
“印度不应该再次风险其至关重要的电信基础设施。印度的风险再次回到中国供应商或短期成本效益。之间的边界争端形势缓和印度和中国,印度公司可能急于拥抱中国供应商可能是一个长期的问题,”第三个高管表示。
