17 February 2016, Shenzhen, China – ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile Internet, will announce its new access layer product, ZXCTN 608, oriented to Pre5G backhaul bearing at the 2016 GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Including multiple indoor and outdoor models, the product family is known for its small size and powerful access capabilities. 

With the rise of the Pre5G/5G era, the bearer network is increasingly required to provide networks with larger capacities and greater density for base stations while the network control can more easily use software defined networking (SDN)/network functions virtualisation (NFV) architecture. ZTE’s new multiple access layer solution, facing the backhaul bearing, utilises innovative products and solutions to assist operators with the challenges associated with future network extensions. 

As an integrated device, the ZXCTN 608 adopts packet kennel, giving support to both indoor and outdoor scenarios. It is a small-size, large-capacity and high-performance access layer device specifically designed for the mobile bearer network. The ZXCTN 608 series provides multiple interfaces, such as E1, fast Ethernet (FE), gigabit Ethernet (GE) and 10GE interfaces, fully meeting the transmission requirements of various mobile and customer services. The outdoor device, 608P, supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) power supply and IP65 protection level. It can supply power for other devices in PoE mode while meeting outdoor installation and application requirements, which can simplify network deployment and save on operational expenditure (OPEX) costs. In addition, the ZXCTN 608 incorporates natural heat dissipation and a zero noise design to meet low-noise application scenarios. Moreover, the ZXCTN 608P device supports SDN evolution to build intelligent networks while providing a platform for network and application innovation, satisfying the long-term requirements of service development. 

“ZTE’s ZXCTN 608P is the smallest outdoor access product but maintains an impressive capacity. The product is applicable to the access layer of a transport network and meets the impending multi-service unified bearing requirements coming into play. It is likely to be a key component for operators building complicated service access networks,” said Mr. Xu Ming, General Manager of Wireline Product Operation, ZTE. 

ZTE offers innovative products and solutions to scale and service the data endemic in a progressively mobile society. ZTE bearer products have provided services for more than 600 operators in over 130 countries and regions around the world. According to the latest optical network product market report and data (“Market Share Report: 3Q15 Global ON”, “Market Share Spreadsheet & Analysis: 3Q15 ON Global”) issued by OVUM, the rolling 4-quarter revenue of ZTE’s CPO-Aggregation products has ranked number one for 16 consecutive quarters.
