One of the world's most challenging WLL installation projects is to be undertaken by ZTE Corporation of China, a leading global supplier of advanced telecommunications infrastructure, in Saudi Arabia for the Saudi Telecom Company (STC).
The contract, won against fierce international competition, will lead to thousands of Saudi people in outlying areas gaining access to the latest telecommunications technology for the first time. ZTE engineers will be installing the new WLL network, which incorporates the company's world-renowned CDMA technology, despite difficulties such as desert temperatures reaching up to 50oC.
"ZTE is totally committed to the development of telecoms across the Middle East and STC were able to assess our capabilities against an impressive backdrop of work already completed in this part of the world," said Mr. Zhao Xian Ming, general manager of ZTE's CDMA product division.
"We are delighted to have signed this latest contract and we look forward to delivering against it."
This is the latest success in Saudi Arabia for ZTE. Earlier this year the Corporation announced that it was to provide a videoconferencing system across the whole of the country in a contract with JCCS (Jeraisy Computer and Communication Services), one of the country's largest and most successful computer and communication companies. ZTE is creating a network using its advanced BAVO (Brings All Visions in One) system and connecting the five major cities in Saudi Arabia. The network will later be expanded to cover the whole country.
In the past few years, ZTE has established a leading position in the Middle East and North Africa. Earlier this month ZTE announced that it had made the first ever 3G call in Tunisia after winning a contract to develop the country's 3G network. Also in 2004 ZTE was selected by Egypt Telecom to construct a large-scale CDMA network covering the Nile River Delta. In 2003, ZTE was selected to build Africa's largest CDMA WLL project in Algeria and ZTE's GSM products have won large-scale applications in Nigeria and Ethiopia.
Today's Saudi success comes a day after the Corporation announced its work with China Unicom to successfully develop the world's first 2 Megabyte (2MB) CDMA Short Message Service Centre (SMSC). This development will considerably increase the traffic flow carried by a single signalling link, thus ensuring the exploitation of Jiangsu Unicom's CDMA Short Message Service, and reducing greatly its networking complexity and running cost.
ZTE has supplied over 15 million lines of CDMA equipment around the world, making it the largest Chinese CDMA equipment supplier in the world. ZTE has also won CDMA contracts in Kuwait, Indonesia and Nepal.
About ZTE: ZTE Corporation is China's largest listed telecommunications equipment provider specializing in offering customized network solutions for telecom carriers worldwide. The company develops and manufactures telecommunications equipment for fixed, mobile, data and optical networks, intelligent networks and next generation networks as well as mobile phones.
