ZTE Achieves Great Success in Telecom Standards Making

ZTE Corporation has become a leader in Chinese telecom standards making after years of painstaking work. It has also taken part in many activities held by international organizations such as ITU, 3GPP and 3GPP2.

  In 2003, it participated in drafting 145 Chinese national and telecom industry standards, which accounted for 64% of the total. The drafting of 41 standards out of these 145 was led by ZTE. It is playing a leading role in making and amending national standards concerning mobile Softswitch, optical transmission, network management, information security and IP video communication in China. 9 group leaders and vice leaders of Chinese standardization organizations come from ZTE.
It sponsored three international standardization conferences in China in 2003, and joined more than thirty authoritative international forums, including CDG Forum, DSL Forum, TMF Forum, OIF Forum, IPv6 Forum, MSF Forum, MEF Forum, WiFi Union and WiMAX Forum.

  ZTE has attended many important standardization conferences of ITU-T SG4, ITU-T SG11, ITU-T SG13, ITU-T SG15, ITU-T SG16, ITU-T SG17, ITU-R 8F, 3GPP2 and 3GPP since 2003.  It submitted 18 papers concerning SDH, WDM, ASON, EOT, OTN, GFP, LCAS and optical devices to ITU-T SG15 and ITU-T SG17 in 2003 and most recommendations were accepted.

  Its proposal on drafting a new ITU-T recommendation on Raman amplifiers (D.735) won recognition at the fifth ITU-T SG15 plenary meeting. ZTE was accordingly granted the right to draft the G.raman standards as an editor. It is the most momentous breakthrough of Chinese delegation at ITU-T SG15 over the past decades.

  ZTE was granted the right to draft the Y.VPN_QOS standards as an editor at ITU-T SG13 in February 2004. At the ITU-T SG17 plenary meeting in Geneva in March 2004, three recommendations submitted by ZTE were adopted, which made it obtain the right to draft a new ITU-T standard, X.msec-3, as an editor. This is the first time for a Chinese enterprise to lead the drafting of an international standard in the information security area. Moreover, ZTE got two editor seats to draft M.3017 Amendment 1 and Q.EoTmgmt at ITU-T SG4 in May 2004.
