ZTE's GSM Products Shipment Doubled in First Quarter

(Business News & Technology News, 8 May 2008)

The continuous robustness and expansion of the international GSM market have driven ZTE Corp.'s volume shipment of GSM products in the first quarter of the year to grow by 100 percent compared to the same period last year, sustaining a strong growth momentum and within the company's annual sales target.

"It is indeed another significant record for us to register 100 percent shipment for our GSM products in Q1 this year, which is in line with our aggressive campaign to get a solid foothold of the global GSM market," says He Zhaogang, General Manager of ZTE GSM products. "With our commitment to developing and introducing new technology innovation equipped with outstanding capabilities and functionality over available products in the market, we managed to maintain an excellent track record and affirmed our market position as one of the top players in the global GSM arena."

Last year, ZTE clinched several significant deals to deploy GSM networks in key and emerging international markets. In September 2007, ZTE signed a contract with CMPak, one of the mainstream telecom operators in Pakistan, for GSM network expansion in the country. Under the contract, ZTE provided the equipment and technical expertise to help CMPak expand its GSM network coverage, including the construction of 1,400 base stations and value-added service products for radio networks, and 10 million lines for core network. In July last year, ZTE also signed a contract with Nepal Telecom to help add 3.5 million lines to its existing mobile GSM capacity and support future expansion that will allow the company provide Nepal subscribers 5 million lines by 2010.

Currently, the company has applied for over 3,000 GSM patents and is a pioneering member of many international standards setting organizations such as ETSI, 3GPP and GSA. ZTE ranks among the leading GSM equipment providers in the world, partnering with industry-leading operators including China Mobile, China Unicom, Reliance, Etisalat, Telenor, and Hutchison, among others.
