ZTE SDRBase Station Records over 200,000 Volume Shipment

ZTECorporation(ZTE),a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions,announced on November I3,2009 that its Software Defined Radio(SDR)base stations have recorded a total volume shipment of over 200,000 units as of October 2009.It took the company almost one year to achieve the first I00,000 SDR units shipped by April 2009,and only six months to ship the second I00,000.The fast growth showcases global operators'recognition and favor of ZTEas a leading provider of SDRbase stations,helping them meet the rapid market needs.

ZTEis the world's first equipment manufacturer to roll out its SDRbase station platform,taking the lead in commercial deployment.With its SDRplatform,ZTE's variety of multi-band and multi-standard wireless communications systems can be implemented with SDRtechnology,including GSM,UMTS,CDMA2000,TD-SCDMA,FDD LTE,WiMAXand TDD LTE,all on the same hardware platform to realize co-existence and a smooth evolution between GSM/UMTS dual-mode,GSM/UMTS/LTEmulti-mode and CDMA/LTE dual mode,thus reducing operators'TCO.

3G networks utilizing ZTESDRbase stations are being constructed across China,including a TD-SCDMA network(China Mobile),WCDMA network(China Unicom)and CDMA2000 network(China Telecom).In third party testing on China Unicom's WCDMAnetwork conducted recently in 77 cities,ZTE's SDRsolution achieved the highest ideal network ratio of 7I.4%among the testing vendors.

In September this year,ZTEand CSL,the largest mobile operator in Hong Kong,jointly released an LTEcommercial test network.Based on ZTE's SDRbase station platform,CSL successfully built GSM/UMTS/HSPA+/LTEmulti-mode networks with a maximum download rate of I27.552 Mbit/s and a mobile download rate of 43.9 Mbit/s.
