ZXUN xGW achieved 174Gbps to rank number one in the industry

31st January 2011, Shenzhen – ZTE Corporation, (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, today announced that its LTE Core EPC has broken two industry records. ZXUN uMAC, ZTE's Mobility Management Entity (MME) achieved the maximum capacity test of 15 million users, while ZXUN xGW, ZTE's SAE-GW, attained 174Gbps which exceeds the previous record by 50% to secure the top spot in the industry.

The xGW record was recorded by IXIA, a leading supplier of converged network and application performance testing solutions, during a recent LTE Core EPC heavy traffic performance demonstration performed with a top tier global operator.

With the two records under its belt, ZTE believes that it is in a better position than before to provide a complete solution to global operators to transform the mobile internet. "The demonstration results is a great indicator of ZTE packet core network's excellent ability to provide large capacity and high throughput," said Mr. Xu Ziyang, Vice President of ZTE.

"Being in the frontier of application technology, the European markets traditionally have higher requirements for technical and solution capability. This demonstration conclusively demonstrates that ZTE is able to completely meet the demands of all markets, as well as showing how ZTE is continuously taking the leading position in the LTE/EPC field."

ZTE proposes the intelligent pipe solution with ZXUN xGW as the core, that is, ZSP (ZTE Smart Pipe). With the series product combination (ZXUN xGW, ZXUN RCP, ZXUN UBAS, ZXUN ICG) and solution combination (ZOOMs, ZEROs, zCOIN), ZSP is built as a diamond excellent solution of 4C standard. It provides operators with weight-level bandwidth (carat), cuts the low-value flow but reserves high-value flow (cut), makes the pipe clear and visual (clarity), and achieves colorful user experience (color), so as to help operator face the mobile internet transformation challenge.

ZTE is the only core network solution vendor providing a complete solution to support all telecommunication standards and platforms, and is fast becoming a global leader in the development of core network and large-scale market application. By January 2011, ZTE has deployed commercial applications for network operators around the world, including CSL Hong Kong, China Telecom, Indonesia PT Smart, etc, and has contracts to deploy the xGW packet gateway solution for operators across Europe, North America, Russia, Southeast Asia and other regions.
