8th December 2004 - The people of Santiago, the capital
city of Chile, are to become the first in the country
to have access to a state-of-the-art GSM WLL system
- being provided by ZTE of China in a contract with
leading local IDD (International Distance Dialing) operator
Transam.
The system is a mixed solution between mobile and fixed
networks and is based on GSM technology, using fixed
wireless terminals to realize WLL technology. It will
bring advanced communications technology to the 200,000
inhabitants of Santiago. This is the latest success
for ZTE in South America during 2004 and follows major
contract wins with Brazilian CDMA operator VIVO and
Telefonica in Peru.
"South America is an important and fast-growing
market for ZTE and we are committed to providing competitive,
customized solutions to operators right across this
continent, " said Mr Liu Jian Jun, general manager
of ZTE Chile.
"We faced tough international competition in winning
this prestigious project and we now look forward to
bringing our world leading WLL technology to the streets
- and the people - of Santiago."
ZTE has a strong local presence across South America,
with offices in Chile, Mexico, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru
and Argentina and a manufacturing and customer service
centre in Brazil.
"Being able to support our customers locally with
world-class people and service is vital to ZTE´s
success," said Mr Liu. "With our local offices
and increasing regional knowledge, we are now able to
provide operators with the long-term support and commitment
they expect and deserve."
ZTE´s WLL capability is one of the fruits of
its continual high investment in research and development.
It has built 11 R&D centres around the world to
enable it to remain at the forefront of the latest telecommunications
technologies. Its staff also have a wealth of expertise:
more than 65% of the personnel hold a degree and over
400 hold doctorates.
ZTE´s GSM WLL solution is developed based on
its GSM solution and has already been deployed in some
countries in Asia, Europe, Latin America and Africa.
GSM WLL enables PSTN operators without mobile operator
licenses to increase their revenue through wireless
customers.
