SHENZHEN, China. - Thursday, August 28th 2014 [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
signed a contract with Slovak operator SWAN for a nationwide LTE network
project.
ZTE will exclusively construct core CS/PS
(circuit-switched/packet-switched) network, and a GSM/LTE mobile
communications and VAS (value added services) network, involving over
1,100 dual-mode GSM/LTE base stations to SWAN.
SWAN was granted
the fourth wireless operator license in Slovakia in January 2014, and
plans to build more than 1,100 GSM and LTE base stations within three
years.
ZTE and SWAN have established a strong partnership, with
ZTE taking the lead in substantial network development projects. ZTE
will be using its industry-leading SDR (software-defined radio)
solutions to provide seamless dual-mode GSM/LTE communications across
the country. To manage mobile communications across SWAN's spectrum
structure, ZTE will use full-bandwidth, high-power RRUs (remote radio
units) to avoid spectrum fragmentation and to deliver high bandwidth and
LTE frequency adjustment. The ZTE network’s ability to simply evolve to
LTE-A will protect SWAN's existing investment and help the operator to
respond quickly to competitive challenges.
Mr. Xie Junshi, CTO of
ZTE Europe and America, said, "ZTE is looking forward to helping
develop SWAN’s presence in Slovakia and to providing the most advanced
high-speed communications to support SWAN grow and succeed in this
highly competitive market. Through this project, ZTE and SWAN will enter
a closer long-term strategic partnership."
As a major global
provider of integrated communications solutions, ZTE is building
market-leading networks with operators all over the world that are
customized to match their individual requirements. ZTE is the
fastest-growing supplier of LTE products, and the company’s share of the
global LTE equipment market increased by almost 20 percent in 2013.
ZTE
has signed 146 LTE/EPC commercial contracts around the world, and has
contracts in 70 percent of the countries that have invested in LTE.
SWAN's nationwide LTE network project is the first large-scale
commercial network built by ZTE in Slovakia, indicating an important
step forward for ZTE's wireless products in the European operator
market.
