11 March 2010, Shenzhen, China – 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 announced itsuccessfully completed the first EV-DO Rev.B Phase II data call with a download rate of 14.7 Mbps, making ZTE the first in the industry to introduce EV-DO Rev.B Phase II technology. ZTE introduced the world’s first 9.3Mbps EV-DO Rev.B Phase I system last year.
EV-DO Rev.B technology enhances spectrum efficiency to extend mobile talk-time by approximately 30 percent and effectively prolong standby time. A new baseband chip is also adopted in the Rev.B Phase II system. By introducing 64QAM high-order modulation technology, it supports a single carrier frequency with a downlink speed of 4.9 Mbps and with 3-carrier frequency bundling technology, it achieves a peak rate of 14.7 Mbps.
Currently, leading global operators have launched EV-DO Rev.B networks, including China Telecom, WANA, Smart Telecom and PTCL. To upgrade 9.3 Mbps Phase I networks to 14.7 Mbps networks is simple and straightforward, requiring only a baseband channel board replacement and a software upgrade.
“Over the past ten years, ZTE has invested enormously in R&D to advance and innovate CDMA technologies that meet CDMA operators’ demand for competitive leadership,” said Ms. Li Jian, General Manager of ZTE’s CDMA Product Line. “The system we made for the data call adopts ZTE’s industry-leading SDR platform-based Uni-RAN solution to meet common mode evolution needs of EV-DO Rev.B and LTE.”
ZTE offers customized and advanced solutions to support operators’ long term business operations by lowering their TCO while at the same time maximizing ROI. There are now more than 136 million EV-DO users worldwide. To date, ZTE has established 70 EV-DO networks in more than 60 countries, including China, the United States, the Czech Republic, Poland, India and Indonesia.
ZTE has been creating waves in the global CDMA market with a global CDMA subscriber capacity reaching 250 million. ZTE ranks first in terms of global CDMA base station shipments, and is the leading CDMA supplier in China, with 43.1 percent domestic market share.
