24th January 2005 - ZTE Corporation, China’s largest
listed telecommunications manufacturer, is to introduce
its next generation W-CDMA product portfolio at next
month’s 3GSM World Congress (Cannes, France, February
14th-17th).
Visitors to the stand (no.H1&H2, Hall 3) will be
the first in Europe to witness the IP-based V.3 generation
of ZTE's leading edge W-CDMA technology. The new portfolio
combines an extended feature range with expanded traffic
capacity, reduced OpEx and world-class reliability.
The 3GPP-compliant V.3 product range also offers operators
additional flexibility to realise a range of different
W-CDMA deployment scenarios and strategies.
“ZTE’s W-CDMA equipment is world-leading
technology, of which I am very proud,” said, Mr.
Liu Peng, Vice GM, ZTE Mobile. “ZTE has extensive
W-CDMA capability and is able to provides operators
with one-stop solutions for W-CDMA network construction,
including network planning, professional engineering
services, 3G operation platforms and 3G terminals. Our
V.2 system has been successful around the world and
I am pleased to launch the V.3 technology – a result
of our continued investment in research and development
– at this prestigious event.”
ZTE's V.3 W-CDMA solutions build on the notable success
achieved by the company's 3GPP R99/R4-compliant V.2
technology. V.2 has clocked up excellent performance
in field testing conducted on the MTNet testing facility
managed by China's Ministry of Information Industry
(MII) Research Institute of Telecommunications Transmission
(RITT), and has also been deployed in large scale experimental
commercial networks overseas and in China. Having considerable
commonality of hardware, ZTE's V.2 W-CDMA technology
constitutes a solid foundation for operators upgrading
to V.3. In addition, V.3 retains all the basic R99/R4
features of V.2, and inherits some of the optional features
of that technology generation.
V.3 W-CDMA is an IP evolution designed to meet changing
3G market circumstances. In general the new product
series meets the latest requirements for 3G commercial
network construction, and uses complete optimized IP
software/hardware structures and many advanced technologies
and features. These include supporting Omni Transmitter
Sector Receivers (OTSRs), 4-RX Receivers, TX diversity
and High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) etc. On
the radio network side, ZTE Corporation's V.3 Node B
equipment series offers mass types like macro, micro,
in-door, and out-door working, plus Remote RF Units
(RRUs) and baseband pooling to meet different service
providers' requirements for different 3G network solutions.
ZTE's V.3 product series offers substantial improvement
for W-CDMA performance indices such as packet exchange
capacity and subscriber numbers supported, and has best-of-breed
equipment reliability and network maintainability. A
unified service platform facilitates fast and easy deployment
of new services, while a network management system delivers
industry-leading functionality based on a mature, super
integrated architecture, and mainstream software and
hardware.
ZTE began tracking W-CDMA developments a decade ago.
The company subsequently kicked off a major, strategic
W-CDMA R&D initiative in 1998. The following year
ZTE commenced W-CDMA manufacturing, and rolled out a
complete set of R4-based commercial systems in 2002.
At present ZTE has over 2,000 engineers engaged in W-CDMA
R&D. It has also set up the European Research Institute
(ERI) in Sweden. This body specializes in the R&D
of critical W-CDMA radio technologies, and has been
responsible for tracking fast pace in these technologies
worldwide.
In September 2004, ZTE successfully launched a W-CDMA
trial network in Tunisia, and two of the countries key
cities – Tunis and Sousse – are currently
using W-CDMA equipment from ZTE.
In addition to W-CDMA systems and terminals, ZTE is
the leading Chinese CDMA brand, with systems operating
at various frequency bands: 450 MHz, 800 MHz, 1.9 GHz
and 2.1 GHz. ZTE has recently launched new products
and value-added services, including CDMA products on
an all-IP platform for 3G, a CDMA-based radio digital
trunking communication system (GoTa), an encryption
communication system, the CDMA 1X system, the GSM 1X
system, and a CDMA 2000 1X EV-DO system.
