8 September 2009, Shenzhen, China - ZTE has completed construction of Romania’s first 800G national backbone WDM network for Romtelecom, the country’s largest fixed-line carrier. The network has over 2000km of fiber and covers half of the country including Bucharest and 21 other large and medium-sized cities. After completion, the network passed testing and will soon start commercial use carrying major telecoms services.
Romtelecom manages around three million fixed-lines. The operator has faced fierce competition in the past years and set up a new strategy in 2007, Customer 1st, which already produced results in terms of customer satisfaction improvement. The operator also focused on the new emerging market segments, such as digital TV, broadband and data. Significant investments were made for upgrading and developing the broadband network infrastructure.
Romtelecom is establishing a new high-reliability, large-capacity LH-transmission broadband network to improve its service bearing capability for advanced services such as digital television and video on demand, so as to increase its range of services and its income. The 800G national backbone WDM network employs ZTE’s Unitrans ZXMP M800 WDM equipment which enables superior network design and has excellent 1＋1 path protection and advanced NMS to provide high-reliability and large-capacity service transmission for users, and helps carriers to quickly deploy new data services.
Sales of ZTE’s bearer network products have grown rapidly in recent years, especially in international markets. They now serve 360 carriers in 105 countries and regions covering Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, South Asia, CIS, Africa and the Middle East. Research firm OVUM in its 1Q09 report stated that ZTE’s bearer network product sales were the fastest-growing in the world and that ZTE has become a worldwide mainstream bearer network solution provider.
