ZTE records 300% increase in GSM volume shipment during first half of 2007

ZTE Corporation, a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, has announced that volume shipment of its GSM products for the first half of 2007 increased by 300% compared with the same period last year, resulting in the expansion of its global GSM capacity to 90 million network lines.
This remarkable record is attributed to ZTE’s continuous effort to develop new technology innovation and forge strategic partnerships with key telecommunications providers worldwide. Among its recent industry-leading technology breakthroughs include the deployment of ALL IP-unified hardware platform, the rollout of the dual-mode Femto Base Station S8001, and being the first to launch the GSM BBU+RRU Solution in the industry.
ZTE also continues to help under-developed markets to deploy GSM networks. For example, the company was awarded by Nepal Telecom in July this year for a project that will help the telecom company to add 3.5 million lines to reach total GSM mobile capacity of 5 million lines within next three years in Nepal.
“The number of countries where we have shipped and sold our GSM solutions globally has doubled since three years ago, reaching to more than 40 countries today,” said Mr. He Zhaogang, General Manager of ZTE GSM products. “We’ve been highly recognized in the GSM field as a leading player because of our proactive approach in developing and introducing new technology innovation that are different from available products in the market.”
In recent years, ZTE has secured procurement agreements with several global providers. In China, the company has successfully forged procurement partnerships with China Mobile and China Unicom. ZTE also adopts an aggressive development strategy in overseas markets, where its GSM equipment has been deployed over 50 operators in more than 40 countries worldwide, with a capacity exceeding 90 million lines. Today, ZTE ranks among the leading GSM equipment providers in the world, partnering with industry-leading operators including China Mobile, China Unicom, Reliance, Etisalat, Telenor, Hutchison, among others.
