ZTEShowcases LTEProduct Line in Germany

On November 26,2009,ZTECorporation(ZTE),a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions,was showcasing its Long Term Evolution(LTE)products and solutions to network operator Vodafone,demonstrating its leading position in the field of end-to-end mobile broadband technologies.With its Software Defined Radio(SDR)solution,ZTEenables operators to cost-effectively host multiple networks on the same base station,enabling them to easily upgrade to an LTE commercial network.

LTEwill offer mobile phone users more bandwidth,faster data transmission and high-speed access to mobile Internet applications,and is expected to be introduced in Germany in stages from 20I0 onwards.This will be partly done using frequencies made available by the digitization of radio broadcasting(the"digital dividend").

"With our LTEmobile telephony solutions,we can respond in a flexible way to all requirements of network operators in terms of connectivity and performance optimization,"explains Dr.Zhigang Zhang,vice president of ZTEEurope and North America."In our SDRbase station,allmobile phone standards can operate in parallel,which significantly reduces operator costs and at the same time is very environment-friendly and saves space.For the‘digital dividend'frequency range,ZTEhas developed its own LTE DD solution based on the SDRplatform,"adds Dr.Zhang.

As a pioneer in the field of HSPA+/LTE,ZTEhas long been involved in the development of LTEtechnology and supports network operators in their efforts to drive the commercialization of this next generation technology.Over 2,000 engineers are devoted to developing LTEin R&D centers in Xian,China.Moreover,ZTErecently opened a new LTEresearch and development centre in Richardson,Texas.

In the last two years ZTEhas successfully built a series of LTEtest networks all over the world,including a commercial trial with Telefónicas,and it has tendered for all major LTE projects in Germany.To demonstrate the applications of LTE technology to an international public,ZTEwill construct a special LTEnetwork for the China pavilion at Expo 20I 0 in Shanghai.
