| Corporate | | | ZTE secures top GPON rankings | | | TT Correspondent | | 09 Jun 2011 | | |  ZTE, a publicly-listed global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, announced on Wednesday its GPON products have gained momentum and secured top rankings.
Based on Ovum''s "4Q10 Market Share - FTTx, DSL, and CMTS ports", among the top eight vendors, ZTE was ranked number one in growth between 2008-10 for worldwide GPON revenues, including GPON OLTs and ONT/ONUs. ZTE’s GPON revenues increased by 1787% between 2008 and 2010, and by 352% between 2009 and 2010. ZTE achieved the industry’s biggest gain in market share in EMEA for GPON ONT/ONUs between 3Q10 and 4Q10.
In Asia , ZTE successfully completed the world's first large-scale commercial GPON-based mobile backhaul network for TELKOM Indonesia. In Eastern Europe, several operators deployed ZTE’s GPON solution. These include TEO in Lithuania, RDS & RCS in Romania and some Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) operators. In Western Europe, a strategic partnership agreement with Tiscali was signed to foster the development of ultra-wide broadband by FTTH technology in Italy.
“ZTE has consistently climbed up the GPON rankings, particularly in OLT shipments,” said Kamalini Ganguly, an analyst with Ovum’s Network Infrastructure Practice. “After a long period of slow growth, mainly in the US, we see GPON equipment now being deployed worldwide, including within China. ZTE has been able to seize this growth opportunity to boost its GPON revenues and market share.”
“Broadband shipment drivers included competitive pressures for both telcos and MSOs, demand for more bandwidth by consumers, traffic mix leaning towards an increasing level of OTT video, more HDTV offerings and national broadband rollouts. Ovum expects that all of these drivers will continue to raise FTTx shipments in 2011.” |
