ZTE Corp.'s (ZTE) Software Defined Radio (SDR) base stations have recorded a total volume shipment of over 200,000 units as of October 2009. It took the company almost one year to achieve the first 100,000 SDR units shipped by April 2009, and only six months to ship the second 100,000. The fast growth showcases global operators’ recognition and favor of ZTE as a leading provider of SDR base stations, helping them meet the rapid market needs.
ZTE is the world’s first equipment manufacturer to roll out its SDR base station platform, taking the lead in commercial deployment. With its SDR platform, ZTE’s variety of multi-band and multi-standard wireless communications systems can be implemented with SDR technology, including GSM, UMTS, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA, FDD LTE, WiMAX and TDD LTE, all on the same hardware platform to realize co-existence and a smooth evolution between GSM/UMTS dual-mode, GSM/UMTS/LTE multi-mode and CDMA/LTE dual mode, thus reducing operators’ TCO.
3G networks utilizing ZTE SDR base stations are being constructed across China, including a TD-SCDMA network (China Mobile), WCDMA network (China Unicom) and CDMA2000 network (China Telecom). In third party testing on China Unicom’s WCDMA network conducted recently in 77 cities, ZTE’s SDR solution achieved the highest ideal network ratio of 71.4 percent among the testing vendors.
In September this year, ZTE and CSL, the largest mobile operator in Hong Kong, jointly released an LTE commercial test network. Based on ZTE’s SDR base station platform, CSL successfully built GSM/UMTS/HSPA+/LTE multi-mode networks with a maximum download rate of 127.552Mbps and a mobile download rate of 43.9Mbps.
