Chinese telecoms group ZTE, which recently entered into an agreement to upgrade Digicel's network, is to be removed from a trade blacklist by the US Department of Commerce on Wednesday.
ZTE has pleaded guilty to violating sanctions on Iran and agreed to pay nearly US$900 million.
Removal from the list marks the end of a tense period for ZTE, which faced trade restrictions that could have severed its ties to critical U.S. suppliers.
ZTE recently pleaded guilty in a federal court in Texas for conspiring to violate US sanctions by illegally shipping American goods and technology to Iran.
Digicel agreement
Digicel announced on Wednesday an agreement with ZTE Corporation, a major international provider of telecommunications solutions for the mobile internet, to expand its 4G LTE networks across its 26 markets in the Caribbean and Central America.
Digicel said by deploying ZTE’s world-class 4G LTE solutions, it will allow Digicel to deliver the highest-performance mobile broadband services to its customers across the region.
Digicel recently announced its Digicel 2030 global transformation programme promising customers a completely new communications and entertainment experience along with job cuts in all its markets.
