ZTE Corporation (Shenzhen: 000063, Hong Kong: 0763) is to extend Bulgaria´s first dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical network - installed earlier this year by the Corporation - in a new contract announced with Cabletel, the country´s leading fixed-line operator.

ZTE, China´s largest listed telecommunications manufacturer and leading wireless solutions provider, will carry out the 293km expansion, taking the network to a total length of almost 800km.  The expanded network will include four network nodes and is based upon ZTE´s ZXWM M900 technology.

"Our high quality equipment, formidable construction capability and across-the-board services presented in the construction of the initial network received overwhelming recognition from Cabletel," said Mr Guo Jun, President of ZTE Eastern Europe. 

"We are delighted to have been chosen for the expansion of this landmark network and will continue to provide first-class equipment and services to promote Bulgaria´s telecommunications development."

The expanded network will offer enhanced operation and maintenance competency, as well as high capacity and smooth scalability.

This is the latest DWDM contract win for ZTE, whose 150,000 sets of optical products have been employed in over 40 countries and regions, with DWDM networks in Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Algeria.

With a full range of optical transport products, including SDH/MSTP (multi-service transmission platform) equipment, backbone DWDM equipment, and metro DWDM equipment, ZTE is able to provide a complete package of optical network solutions and has become the dominant supplier of optical transport equipment in the world.
