Product Debut Accelerates LTE Commercialization
7 June 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 that it has launched the industry’s first commercial TD-LTE base stations: BBU- B8300 and RRU- R8962. The debut of the two base stations is timely to help accelerate TD-LTE industry commercialization.
ZTE’s B8300 TD-LTE base station is based on ZTE's SDR unified platform and can be upgraded from TD-SCDMA mode to TD-LTE or TD/TD-LTE dual mode. It fully supports a smooth evolution of carrier networks to LTE and lowers their total cost of ownership.
ZTE’s R8962 TD-LTE base station supports two channels with 20W transmission power each - the highest transmission power and power efficiency in the industry. It incorporates compact size, the most lightweight design in the industry, and meets the growing industry demand for energy savings and emission reduction. Operators will benefit from its innovative product features for multi-mode functions of TD/TD-LTE, as well as its multi-band 2.3/2.6 GHz and multi-scenario indoor/outdoor applications.
To support the ever-growing needs for next-generation network infrastructure, ZTE has deployed more than 250,000 SDR base stations across the globe, including in mainland China, Hong Kong, India and Chile. The company successfully constructed a TD-LTE network for the Shanghai World Expo Press Center, and the company’s 2G/3G dual-mode base station built upon the SDR platform was nominated for a GSMA Global Mobile Award in 2009.
ZTE has taken the lead in LTE development and has achieved significant breakthroughs in the industry. To date, the company has deployed five commercial LTE networks and built 40 LTE trial networks for leading telecom operators in Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and MEA. With an aim to advance the telecommunications market into 4G technologies, ZTE will continue to drive innovation and introduce market-leading and cost-efficient solutions to the market.
