ZTE to Provide DSL Equipment to Telemar

ZTE Corporation, China´s largest listed telecommunications manufacturer and leading wireless solutions provider, has been selected by Telemar, Brazil´s largest fixed line operator, to provide IP-based DSLAM terminals and ATM DSLAM for its DSL infrastructure.

    Under the terms of the contract, ZTE will deliver its IP-based DSLAM and ATM DSLAM to Telemar for use in its DSL network in Rio de Janeiro—Brazil´s second largest city with over 12 million people.

    The deal covers an important part of the contracts awarded by Telemar, and follows recent strategic partnerships for ZTE with Greece Telecom, Portugal Telecom and France Telecom.

    ZTE´s IP DSLAM, while supporting emerging services like IPTV and multi-level QoS, enables the mixed access of multi-services including ADSL, VDSL, SHDSL and LAN. To date, the global shipment of ZTE´s IP DSLAM has exceeded 7 000 000 lines.

     "A series of breakthroughs in South American markets, and partnerships with world-class telecoms operators are the further proof of ZTE´s competencies and competitiveness in the international DSL arena," said Mr. Zhu Dongtang, broadband access product manager at ZTE.  "We have been consistently focusing on quality and service, and will further improve our technical support and service capabilities in broadband areas."
