ZTE Corporation ("ZTE") (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, today showcased its entire lineup of LTE base-stations at "Mobile World Congress 2011" in Barcelona, Spain. In addition to the distributed base-stations, most widely adopted at present, the company also introduced the industry's first all-in-one micro-station that is smaller than 13L, as well as an all-in-one indoor/outdoor macro base-station. Among them, the all-in-one LTE micro base-station, which is in the leading position in the industry, is small and light-weight, supports multiple frequency bands, is widely applicable and can meet the needs of operators for flexible deployment, hotspot coverage, and blind zone coverage. As of Feb 2011, ZTE had 15 contracts signed for the commercial use of LTE with global operators.
ZTE sees LTE as a strategic product in the mobile broadband communications era. Assigning 4000 researchers to participate in its development and promotion across the globe, ZTE ensures it can provide powerful support to meet customers' needs in the commercial LTE market, in both manpower and equipment. ZTE has increased efforts in the research of LTE standards; as of 30 November 2010, ZTE had filed 235 ETSI essential patents (EPs) that must be used by LTE standards, accounting for 7% of the total number of EPs for LTE that had already been declared and securing ZTE's entrance into the "Tier-1 Camp" in terms of EPs for 4G standards. In 2011, ZTE will continue to enhance collaborations with global operators in the LTE field with respect to both commercial applications and test applications.
ZTE's continued investment in R&D, leading SDR technology and customised product solutions has successfully promoted the development of the wireless communications industry. In recognition of its outstanding performance in the SDR technology and equipment market, Frost & Sullivan named ZTE "2010 SDR Equipment Vendor of the Year", and also awarded the Frost & Sullivan Best Practice Awards (BPA) to the company.
