ZTE Corporation to Provide World´s Largest Fixed Next Generatin Network (NGN) to China Telecom

    ZTE Corporation is to provide the world´s largest fixed NGN network in a landmark co-operation agreement announced on June 2, 2005 with China Telecom. As part of the agreement, ZTE will be the exclusive provider for the fixed NGN Backbone Long-distance Voice Network—the biggest ever NGN programme in the world.

    This fixed NGN program will cover many first-class provincial Domestic Centers (DC1) across China.  The improvement in network capability will also cover several second-class Domestic Centers (DC2) to further improve transmission performance, ensuring seamless data transmission through Operation && Maintenance Management.
"Once the construction of the whole fixed-NGN network is completed, the successful access rate of long-distance network services will be largely increased. This therefore will ensure great revenue of long-distance voice traffic. 

    Meanwhile we aim to provide users with more efficient and dynamic value-added telecommunication services," said Mr. Li Ming, Director of International Marketing, ZTE Network Business Department.

     "Our strong R&&D capability, backed by our quality people worldwide, has given us the experience few of our competitors can match in NGN and Softswitch development and delivery," added Mr. Hou Weigui, Chairman of
ZTE Corporation. "We are now extremely proud to have been chosen to put this expertise into serving the communications needs of millions of our fellow citizens and to be working together with our colleagues in China Telecom to provide a network that will be the envy of the entire world".

    Widely regarded as the top brand in China for NGN capability, ZTE Corporation has already succeeded with this technology in overseas markets.  Having deployed NGN commercial programmes in many provinces for China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile, China Netcom and China Railcom, ZTE Corporation has also won contracts in Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Pakistan.
