##Lao Telecom Providers Establish Partnerships

**Ministry of Technology and Telecommunications, Minister Boviengkham Vongdara; February 3, 2025**

###Consolidation of Lao Telecom Providers

In Laos, there are four primary cell coverage carriers: ETL Mobile, LaoTel Mobile, Tplus Mobile, and Unitel Mobile. LaoTel Mobile and Unitel Mobile are the two largest providers and primary competitors, they are both Lao Government-owned State Enterprises with minority private ownership. They also have the largest networks in the country, where ETL, and Tplus have not been able to keep with their scope of operations. With LaoTel and Unitel announcing their plans to expand into 5G, ETL and Tplus both could not acquire the appropriate financing to compete and establish their own 5G services. Subsequently, LaoTel and ETL announced an acquisition deal where LaoTel will take over the ETL network and services, where Tplus shortly thereafter folded to Unitel in a similar acquisition arrangement further deepening the duopoly of competition between the two major companies.

###Lao Telecom Providers Partner with Chinese Enterprises

**LaoTel Mobile - Huawei Cooperation**

LaoTel also announced its cooperation with Huawei to roll out new network and telecom equipment in Laos. Huawei will be the key supplier for LaoTel, which will also contract Huawei technicians to support the network expansion in Laos. Given Huawei's worldwide experience and industry-leading expertise, LaoTel was quick to secure this partnership to position itself ahead of Unitel and deepen the recent trend of warming Sino-Lao relations.

**Unitel - ZTE Cooperation**

While there were rumors Unitel was looking to cooperate with Ericsson, those rumors did not materialize when Unitel finally announced that it would primarily be partnering with ZTE, another Chinese firm. ZTE, as with LaoTel and Huawei, will assist in providing equipment and technical support to Unitel during their service expansion into 5G across Laos.
