ZTE Selected to Install Major NGN Network by Colombian Telco

EMCALI, one of Colombia´s four major fixed line operators, has chosen ZTE Corporation to provide the infrastructure for its upgraded Softswitch-based Next Generation Network (NGN).

    The new network, which incorporates ZTE´s Fixed-line 3G@NGN solutions, will provide a range of advanced services including broadband access, IP TV and other intelligent services to customers in Colombia´s second largest city Cali.

    ZTE initiated a feasibility analysis of NGN technology in 1998. As the first Chinese member of ISC (International Softswitch Consortium), ZTE has edited several standards on NGN technology for the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

    To date, ZTE has constructed around two hundred NGNs around the globe, including China´s first commercial NGN as well as the networks in North America, Central Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia.
