ZTE Corporation of China, China’s largest listed telecommunications equipment manufacturer and a major exhibitor at the 3G World Congress & Exhibition in Hong Kong (Booth 1104, Hall 7), revealed its ground breaking new technologies in CDMA and WCDMA today.

Optimized 3G CDMA2000 solution
Supporting both voice and data at the same time, and offering wireless packet data services, ZTE’s new solution ”1xEV-DO+1x Release A” is the optimized 3G CDMA2000 system that was formally introduced to the overseas market. Visitors to the stand at the show will be able to see ZTE’s 1xEV-DO demonstrate a rate of up to 2.4 Mbps wireless data services, which supports main 3G services such as streaming media and videophone. High speed document download and Internet surfing is a major feature for visitors.

As fast as 307.2 kbit/s of a single carrier wave, 1x ReleaseA is the enhanced edition of Release0, showing a doubled speed rate of the previous edition. The Release0 based 1x system has already been put into use in more than 90 commercial networks.

Showcasing the groundbreaking “1xEV-DO+1x ReleaseA” solution is further evidence of ZTE’s formidable capabilities in CDMA research and development and signifies that ZTE is at the forefront of the world’s leading 3G CDMA2000 field.

All-IP based platform ensures the consistent network structures

As a leading pioneer of IP 3G platforms in the telecommunications industry, ZTE’s all-IP platform smoothly resolves the problems of QoS and has been successfully applied to a number of 3G base stations. The advantage of adopting the all-IP based solution lies in the fact that it keeps the network structure consistent throughout the whole process, from core network to access network, and minimizes the risk of the telecom operators’ investment. An all-IP based solution also offers great flexibility for the network in transmission, management and maintenance.

As the largest CDMA system equipment supplier in China, ZTE announced in September that it had won a CDMA2000 1x network construction project in Vietnam that covers 13 provinces, including the most densely populated areas and highly developed zones in the country, making ZTE the largest CDMA system provider to the fast-growing Vietnam market. Following this achievement, ZTE has also announced that its project of CDMA2000 1x will go live in Nepal, which will make the company the biggest telecommunications equipment supplier in the country. According to Nepal Telecom, this is the biggest project they have ever undertaken in the history of the Nepal telecom market.

Additionally, ZTE has won several major international CDMA contracts in the last six months, including projects in India, Indonesia, Russia, Egypt, and Mongolia. ZTE’s CDMA mobile communication systems have now topped 18 million lines worldwide and its CDMA products have been successfully deployed in over 20 countries.

Technical breakthrough in the WCDMA field

Apart from the advanced CDMA based solutions, ZTE will also be demonstrating its latest research results in the WCDMA area.

Following the WCDMA V2 commercially used system, ZTE will be introducing its V3 serial products at the 3G Congress to meet the ever-changing needs of the markets. The products integrate the optimized all-IP structure and many other cutting-edge technologies and will considerably improve the performance stability and maintainability of the equipment.

The enhanced WCDMA technology based on R5, HSDPA, is another eye-catching technical achievement that ZTE is presenting at the event. This technology greatly expands the transmit rate and can be easily supported by the relative equipment with smooth software upgrade.

ZTE’s WCDMA system has been successfully applied for commercial use in Tunis and ZTE has beaten all other competitors to make the first ever 3G call in Tunisia. This means that ZTE can successfully construct WCDMA Networks for commercial use and has become one of the few telecommunications manufacturers that can deploy 3G commercial networks in the world.

Strongly supported by its leading-edge technologies and continuous commitment towards product innovation and improvement, ZTE’s 3G CDMA2000 and WCDMA technologies are empowering telecommunications operators and vendors to expand their customer base and maximize their revenue generation.
