DUBAI, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- Chinese tech giant Huawei announced Tuesday that it will join forces with the United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based Orbit Showtime Network (OSN) to offer Internet TV service in the Middle East.

Huawei on Tuesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with OSN, the leading entertainment network in the Middle East, to offer the Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service, the Chinese telecom equipment giant said in a statement.
