ZTE launched its Converged Service Network (CSN) at the SDP Global Summit in London. ZTE’s CSN incorporates traditional SDP architecture and cloud computing features, enabling an SDPaaS (SDP as a Service) solution for the first time. The CSN provides an efficient and stable service network platform to operators, third-party application providers, and individual or group application developers.

The CSN is a new service network platform integrating mobile and fixed network infrastructure onto a basic platform that supports both Internet and Telecoms services, providing a flexible solution with efficient management and control features.

“In today's mobile broadband market when operators rely on service innovations as their key competitive edge, crowd sourcing has become the best solution to enable service innovation. With a new service network as enabled by CSN, operators can support cooperation of developers and individuals, and enable service development and customization by using simple, practical, and graphical development tools. Moreover, operators can easily manage service capabilities, deployment and operations of services, as well as development cycle management”, said Kong Dechun, ZTE's VAS software chief engineer.
