SHENZHEN, China - Tuesday, June 4th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”) (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share
stock code: 000063.SZ), a publicly-listed global provider of
telecommunications equipment, network solutions and mobile devices, has
achieved the global No.2 ranking in the optical network market.
According
to the latest market analysis report ‘Market share-1Q13 Global ON’
released by Ovum, ZTE displaced Alcatel-Lucent to take second position.
"ZTE has a higher percentage of next-generation equipment for the
aggregation market than its competitors do, so ZTE is not as affected by
the shift in spending away from TDM as the others which is the source
of the market share gains," said Ron Kline, Principle Analyst, Network
Infrastructure, Ovum.
“ZTE is dedicated to developing
next-generation optical networking products, including Packet Transport
Network (PTN), Optical Transport Network (OTN) and 100G,” said Mr. Xu
Ming, VP, ZTE Bearer Network. “Our technological expertise and excellent
commercial execution has enabled us to grow our market share and grab
second position.”
Ovum forecasts that the large-scale deployment
of Long Term Evolution (LTE) will help drive the PTN market to reach an
estimated $1.8 billion by 2013. ZTE ranks No.1 in the global aggregation
market based on its performance in PTN technology, which in recent
years has been adopted by many mainstream operators across the world.
ZTE
recently won the PTN tender to deliver China Mobile’s entire national
backbone network. In addition, ZTE ranked NO.1 in China Mobile’s bid
evaluation for new provincial trunk line. This is the first application
of PTN in trunk line construction and is a very significant win for ZTE.
It will provide ZTE with a lot of experience and open up lots of future
market opportunities.
The Ovum report also indicated that the
next-generation WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) products such as
ROADM (reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexing), (CPO) converged
packet optical and OTN switching had all witnessed double-digit growth
in revenues compared with the same quarter a year ago. The global
industry’s annualised revenues of OTN switching were more than $2.2
billion. ZTE is ranked the second largest CPO-T (converged packet
optical transport) provider.
According to the report, 1Q13 global
optical networking revenues were lower than the same quarter a year
ago. However, the 100G market saw strong growth, with 100G port
shipments in 1Q13 increasing by 41percent and revenues increasing by 24
percent. ZTE has extensive experience in 100G and has deployed over 20
100G networks around the world.
