ZTE Achieves XOHM Certification for WiMAX Modem

     ZTE USA, a subsidiary of ZTE Corporation, announced on October 8, 2008 that Sprint’s XOHMTM WiMAX business unit had certified its TU25 USB modem after extensive evaluation in the XOHM Herndon, Va. lab environment. The USB modem is the first certified for use with XOHM’s Mobile WiMAX service, the company’s next generation broadband service commercially available in Baltimore and planned elsewhere.

     ZTE’s TU25 USB Modem provides XOHM’s subscribers with reliable, high speed broadband wireless connection for laptops and desktop computers with a USB port.

     The XOHM’s certification signifies the product’s interoperability with other elements of the WiMAX network including back-office provisioning and customer relationship management systems and infrastructure. Besides the XOHM certification, ZTE’s modem has achieved Microsoft’s WQHL certification, USB Forum certification and FCC certification, marking it ready for commercial usage.

     “We know that part of our commercial success relies on our ability to offer our subscribers technologically advanced equipment that will enable them to seamlessly harness the power of our WiMAX service,” said Bin Shen, VP, Product Management and Partnership Development for XOHM. “After putting ZTE’s USB modem through rigorous testing, we are confident to offer our customers this product as part of their service equipment. We look forward to working with ZTE as we launch other cities later this year and next.”
