ZTE, Huawei, Alcatel-Lucent gain IMS core market share
Recently, Exact Ventures said Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei, and
ZTE each gained share in the worldwide IMS Core equipment market that increased
more than 50 percent year-over-year in the second quarter, mainly as a result
of sales to the Asia Pacific region for the large scale wireline deployments by
China Mobile and China Telecom.
ZTE said the contract with China Telecom includes
construction of an IMS phase II network covering 12 Chinese provinces,
including: Anhui, Chongqing, Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Jilin, Liaoning,
and Ningxia, Shanxi, Tianjing and Yunnan.

transformation, security networking, development interworking and network evolution
to China Telecom.

experiences.

cooperation with this project,” said ZTE CN Product CEO Liu Jianhua.
