­ZTE China has came into the Taiwanese market after signing a deal to supply WCDMA wireless equipment to VIBO Telecom. As per the agreement, ZTE will bring in 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.

According to Mr Zhang Jianguo, GM of GU product of ZTE Corporation, 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. 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.

According to Mr. Feng-Hsiung Chang, CEO of VIBO Telecom, 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.
