ZTE multi-service edge routers preferred in China Telecom IP network construction

ZTE Corporation is playing a leading role in the provisioning of multi-service edge (MSE) routers to China Telecom Group.

During the past three years, almost 51 percent of China Telecom’s centralised purchases for MSE routers were allocated to ZTE, demonstrating their superior performance and capabilities. In the most recent China Telecom IP network tender, ZTE won the second-highest allocation for MSE routers, and was awarded the largest share of orders for service routers (SR).

MSE routers play a central role in China Telecom’s ongoing upgrade of IP Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN). MSE routers enable operators to integrate traditional large customer private line oriented SR and broadband access servers (BRAS), helping to accelerate new service deployment, improve user experience, reduce network elements, and improve network resource utilisation as well as maintenance efficiency.

Thanks to its technological innovations and customer-centric philosophy, ZTE is gaining an increasing allocation of orders for high-end routers from China Telecom. ZTE’s high-end routers are deployed in more than 150 China Telecom MANs in 26 provinces, in addition to the core service sites at the headquarters of China Telecom.
