China's ZTE has entered the Taiwanese market after signing a contract to supply WCDMA wireless equipment to VIBO Telecom. Under the agreement, ZTE will supply more than 3,500 3G base-stations to replace VIBO's existing 3G network around Taiwan within one year. The base-stations to be provided for VIBO are based on ZTE's SDR (Software Defined Radio) technology.
"In Q1 2010, number of 3G subscribers accounted for 60% of the total subscribers from Taiwan, increased from about 40% in 2008. 3G communication has become the de facto standard for the local market," said Mr Zhang Jianguo, GM of GU product of ZTE Corporation.
"To address this growing need for high-speed 3G data services, ZTE will help VIBO roll out 21.6 Mbps HSPA+ mobile broadband services across the entire island of Taiwan for its users in the future. Our SDR platform can ensure the smooth and seamless upgrade of the network from GSM/UMTS to HSPA+ and LTE, allowing VIBO to dramatically reduce its operating and infrastructure costs."
"In the telecommunications industry, it is critical to work with a trusted partner who can handle complex requirements and ensure a smooth delivery. ZTE is the one we have partnered with for a long time and we are always impressed by its capabilities to provide us with innovative, sustainable and cost-effective solutions," said Mr. Feng-Hsiung Chang, CEO of VIBO Telecom.
