ZTE bags broadband award in Germany
Controversial Chinese telecommunications firm ZTE Corp. bagged the prestigious InfoVision Award last week for providing state-of-the-art yet highly affordable telecommunication services, including Internet protocol television (IPTV) and high-definition video-on-demand.
ZTE was thrust into the glare of controversy after President Arroyo cancelled the contract with the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) for a national broadband network project due to “political noise.”
ZTE announced its feat in a press statement at the Broadband World Forum Europe 2007 held in
“We are very proud of this achievement,” ZTE vice president Chen said.
“It is a great encouragement for ZTE as it recognizes our research and efforts to develop superior access network products,” added Chen, who is also ZTE’s general manager for Wireline and Service products.
ZTE, said to be a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, received the InfoVision Award for the Access Network Technologies and Services category.
ZTE was cited for its GPON+VDSL2 solution, particularly the ZXA10 C220+ZDXL 9806H product series.
This technology solution enables carriers to cost-effectively deliver next-generation services to their customers, including Internet TV and video-on-demand.
The InfoVision Award is given by the International Engineering Consortium (IEC) at the yearly Broadband World Forum which recognizes technologies, applications, products, advances and services that are most unique and beneficial to the telecommunications industry.
“The IEC’s InfoVision Awards give tribute to the top broadband technologies in deployment today. We’re pleased to recognize ZTE Corp. for its entry in the Access Network Technologies and Service Category,” said IEC president John Janowiak in citing ZTE’s excellence.
ZTE submitted two entries, the second being its ZXMP M800 Metro DWDM System. Both qualified among the top finalists for the award.
ZTE said the achievement highlights once again an in-depth understanding of GPON and DSL technologies and its strategic position in the international market.
ZTE’s winning entry, the GPON System, supports triple-play services that combine voice, data and video services, as well as support mixed plug of EPON and GPON boards in one platform.
As of July 2007, ZTE has pending applications for over 9,300 patents worldwide, including application for CMMB, 3G, NGN, WiMax and optical systems. It has more than 60 engineers and executives managing the licensing of the patents.
