Zi Signs Decuma License with ZTE

(Business News & Technology News, 11 Jul 2008)

Zi Corp. has signed a contract with the Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturer ZTE Corp. for the delivery of Decuma Chinese and English. Zi is to receive royalties for units of products shipped using the Decuma software under this deal.

With sales of over $5 billion in 2007, ZTE plays an important role in the international telecom community. It has established strategic cooperation agreements with leading telecom giants such as Portugal Telecom, France Telecom, Alcatel, Ericsson and Nortel in NGN and mobile systems, with Hutchison in 3G, and with Marconi in optical transmission systems. ZTE ships nearly 30 million handset units—including mobile phones, data cards, modems, and fixed wireless terminals, among others, per year.

"We are delighted that ZTE has chosen our handwriting recognition solution in addition to other Zi predictive text products. ZTE has one of the most complete telecommunications product line in the world, covering virtually every vertical sector of the wireline, wireless and terminal markets, which coupled with Zi's comprehensive product and language base, can certainly address ZTE's global market reach," says Milos Djokovic, President and CEO of Zi.

Adam Zhang, Director of Research and Development at ZTE, says, "We are confident that Zi's Decuma handwriting recognition solution will enable us to deliver new products with reliable and accurate pen input capabilities, as well as enhance our end users' experience."
