On September 11, all the lines of Infonet, former regional operator now in hands of Digitel GSM, will adopt prefix 412 instead of 418 that is currently used. Furthermore, Infonet`s prepaid cards will be replaced for the ones of the new operator. On that date, the softswitch of Huawei Technologies that Digitel GSM installed in the city of Maracaibo (Zulia) will start operating. The Chinese company’s infrastructure, which will replace Siemens` stations, will allow the company to offer services based on GPRS/EDGE. In the remaining cities of the Country’s west region, the operator is currently installing a backbone, which will be ready in October. In Maracaibo, Digitel GSM foresees to reach a park of 200,000 clients before year’s end.
