ZTE’s share in China’s CDMA market increased to 43.54% in the first half of 2010. ZTE also has an accumulated market share of 43.2% of China’s total CDMA equipment market. The company attributed the achievements partly to the steady increase in shipments made globally.
“For four consecutive years, ZTE has been firmly at the top of the global CDMA market in terms of base station shipments from 2006 to 2009. The development of the CDMA market is of great importance to ZTE, which is why we are one of the few vendors in the world who continue to make large-scale investments into CDMA technology,†said Li Jian, ZTE’s General Manager of CDMA & LTE products.
Recently, ZTE signed an exclusive supply contract with Smart Telecom, the second largest CDMA operator in Indonesia, to deploy a network supporting 25 million lines. ZTE also won a CDMA network contract to build over 1,000 base stations in Canada.
Earlier this year in March 2010, ZTE had launched the world’s first CDMA/LTE dual mode Remote Radio Units (RRU). ZTE’s Uni-RAN solution is easy to upgrade to next-generation networks and allows commercial deployment of LTE.
“In China this year, ZTE has undertaken the migration of legacy CDMA systems from other manufacturers for 12 of the 14 prefecture-level cities. The entire process was seamlessly carried out, and we received positive feedback from users,†added Li.
According to ZTE, It’s CDMA products have been in large-scale commercial deployments by over 120 operators in more than 70 countries, with an accumulated wireless capacity of 2.5 billion lines.
