ZTE continues its leadership in Next Generation FTTx PON Global market!

 ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”) (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), a publicly-listed global provider of  telecommunications equipment and network solutions, continues its leadership in the field of Next Generation PON (NG PON) equipment.

As of the end of Q311, ZTE held 100 per cent of the world’s market share for Next Generation PON equipment shipments and was the first telecommunications company in the world to ship OLT & ONT/ONU equipment during the quarter.

“In Q311, ZTE reported the very first 10G-EPON equipment shipments in the world, heralding the beginning of the era of next-generation PON,” said OVUM Analyst Kamalini Ganguly in the firm’s Q311 FTTx quarterly market share update. “It is an important milestone in the quest for higher bandwidth capacity.”

“Our achievements in PON technology are a testament to ZTE’s R&D efforts over the past several years,” said ZTE Vice President Xu Ming. “We are very proud of the fact that our NG PON solutions have increased our momentum in the field.”

ZTE’s xPON optical access products have been widely implemented, reaching 93 million lines and over 47 million broadband ports installed across the globe. At the end of 2011, ZTE won an exclusive three-year grant from China’s 863 Program to lead a group of institutions researching optical networks access and evolution technologies.

ZTE is also an industry leader in the NG PON2 field. The company was the first vendor to launch a tunable laser-based WDM PON system in March 2009, and it developed the telecoms industry’s first adjustable colorless transceiver ONU in the direction of TWDM technology. The company also actively contributes to creating optical access standards, and submitted the highest number of XG-PON and NG-PON2 proposals to FSAN from 2008 to 2010.

In addition, ZTE was the chief editor of a technical OFDM-PON whitepaper it produced with FSAN Group in September 2011, cementing the company’s position as the pre-eminent researcher in the industry.
