ZTE Corp announced that it has increased its market share in the domestic i.e. Chinese CDMA market to 43.54% in the first half of 2010.

“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.

 “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. “Network performance was greatly improved after the migration and ZTE’s outstanding project management, execution and delivery won full recognition from China Telecom.”

In April 2010, ZTE was the first to complete the EV-DO Rev.B outfield commercial test in Chengdu. Using AC2790 and AC600, ZTE’s EV-DO Rev.B data cards, the test results demonstrated that ZTE’s CDMA EV-DO Rev.B system was ready for commercial deployment.

ZTE also launched the world’s first CDMA/LTE dual mode Remote Radio Units (RRU) in March 2010. ZTE’s Uni-RAN solution is easy to upgrade to next-generation networks and allows for the fastest commercial deployment of LTE technology.

ZTE was the only winner of Frost & Sullivan’s World’s Best CDMA Equipment Vendor award in 2009. It was also the first Chinese enterprise to receive the highest 3G CDMA Industry Achievement award from the CDMA Development Group (CDG) in 2008 for global CDMA technological innovation and development.
