Telecom equipment vendor ZTE on Wednesday said it bagged nearly 50 percent of China Telecom’s tender to provide evolved packet core (EPC) equipment for an LTE network across 15 provinces in China.
As part the contract, the Chinese telecom equipment vendor, which competes with Huawei, NSN, Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, etc. also will provide a 2G/3G/TDD/FDD/Wi-Fi multi-network collaboration solution with its EPC equipment. This solution ensures smooth network evolution of the entire network and also reduces bandwidth costs while improving user experience.
In addition, ZTE ePCC traffic management scheme provides flexible service packages as well as closed-loop control and open collaboration capabilities, helping carriers expand profit margins and improve BIT value.
In the first half of 2013, ZTE had won more than 40 EPC commercial contracts and deployed more than 100 trial networks globally. ZTE clients include China Mobile, Vodafone, Telstra, KPN, Telenor, TeliaSonera, Hutchison and others.
