ZTE Corporation has opened a major network testing and development centre in London Docklands, with high speed links to all major UK networks and to the key Docklands’ Telehouses.

The ZTE Innovation Centre, housed alongside QiComm’s core interconnects and data centre, will enable ZTE to run any of its infrastructure products in a live network environment, massively increasing the UK operation’s ability to develop, test and demonstrate both wireless and wireline equipment in the UK market. It will also help house the fast-growing ZTE infrastructure support and development team currently based in ZTE’s UK headquarters in Brentford, West London.

The UK Innovation Centre is the first of 10 international Innovation Centres ZTE is building in countries including Spain, France and Germany to enable it to carry out R&D programmes in close cooperation with major operators.
