China’s ZTE reports to have shipped more than 11,000 CDMA base stations in the first 6 months of 2007. This figure represents a 250% increase compared with same period last year, thus resulting in ZTE meeting its 2006 annual target, with still five more months before the year ends.

“India alone accounts for over 20,000 sets of the shipment, allowing ZTE to capture the largest market share for CDMA base stations in the country. ZTE has also launched CDMA base stations with new frequency bands, including 1700/2100 MHz (AWS band), 410 MHz, ATG (Air-to-Ground) band. Since 2001, ZTE had already shipped over 55,000 CDMA base stations,” said Mr. Zhu Jinyun, general manager of ZTE’s CDMA product.

The company also has another milestone to announce - its CDMA system subscriber capacity has exceeded 100 million lines, representing a 100% increase compared to the figure as of end-2006.

ZTE has accumulated a total network subscriber capacity of 43 million lines in India, while it has become one of the top three CDMA suppliers with a capacity of 15 million lines in Indonesia. Across Africa, the development of ZTE’s business has been particularly solid.

ZTE has also been enjoying positive growth in the high-end strategic markets in Europe and US. In Norway, it has built an EV-DO/GoTa network. In the US, ZTE is currently developing the CDMA2000 1X or EV-DO network for at least four operators, as initial strategic step into entering the high-end class of operators in North America.
