Hong Kong, December 1, 2006 - ZTE, a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, today launched its new UMTS O&M Plant operations and management solution at ITU Telecom World. The new system has been developed in accordance with low cost construction trends, as smaller and lower power consumption base stations become increasingly attractive to operators.
In ZTE's booth, the comparatively small size of the new generation baseband pool product (BBU) and radio research unit (RRU) was shown to the public. The BBU is 3U in height and 19 inches in width, supporting 1024CE; the RRU is only 19 litres in volume and 17 kilograms in weight. This will save considerable equipment space for operators and consequently decrease the construction cost of equipment rooms.
"The main feature of ZTE's new generation O&M plant is that of power saving," said Mr. Cao Qiang, VP of ZTE Mobility. "All the base stations adopt Doherty and DPD (digital protocol definition) technologies, enabling amplifier efficiency to reach 30%. Taking ZTE B09 macro base station as an example, power consumption is only 800W when the new amplifier is adopted, saving 50% on electricity, thereby considerably decreasing OPEX."
Moreover, features of the base stations and RRUs including multi-frequency support, powerful HSDPA capability, readiness for HSUPA and smooth expansion of the Iub interface assure the maximum use of the equipment in network expansion, helping decrease CAPEX in network construction.
ZTE also announced a variety of related solutions, e.g. Pico Access for indoor office environments and Home NodeB for family environments. The two solutions solve the 3G indoor coverage issue, enabling standard telecommunications requirements any time and anywhere. ZTE is also demonstrating its MBMS (multimedia broadcast multimedia service) and HSUPA (high speed uplink packet access) services at the exhibition.
