ZTE Corp announced successful deployment of a WiMAX network based on 802.16e standard for Spain’s Iberbanda. The network was deployed in the Spanish regions of Galicia on the north-west coast of the country and neighboring Asturias.

The deal follows an existing agreement signed between ZTE and Iberbanda in December 2009 to supply 500 WiMAX base stations for two years to provide high-speed broadband services to the rural parts of Spain.
