ZTE Receives WiMAX Forum Certification

     ZTE Corporation announced in September 2008 that its WiMAX 16e system passed Mobile WiMAX certification testing by the WiMAX Forum. This is another milestone following the earlier certification for its WiMAX 16e terminals in August 2008.

     "ZTE’s WiMAX system and terminals both passed certification from WiMAX Forum, not only signifying that ZTE has the capability of mature commercial application, but also driving the development of the Mobile WiMAX industry chain. ZTE has been actively promoting the development of WiMAX 16m standards, and has put forward a number of effective proposals. The growth of WiMAX industry requires the joint efforts of all terminal providers, chips provider and service providers," said Zhao Songpu, General Manager of ZTE’s WiMAX Product Line.

     Certification of WiMAX products is the authority of the WiMAX Forum, aiming to standardize the consistency of WiMAX equipment and terminal manufacturers. Professional and strict specifications have been established for test contents from protocol consistency to function implementation and product performance. The text contents covering thousands of test items are reviewed by the experts of WiMAX Forum. The WiMAX Forum Approval Certificate is awarded only when all the test items have been passed.
