Elaborating on its rapid growth in Europe, ZTE notes that last year, it landed a six-year managed deal with H3G Austria under which it was contracted to deliver a full portfolio of network operations and maintenance services to more than 4000 sites of H3G.

ZTE has also signed a contract to provide CDMA2000 1x/EV-DO network construction and managed services to the whole network to Polkometel, an established operator in Poland.

It will also provide its GoTa dedicated trunking push-to-talk (PTT) service to Polkometel.

"In 2010, ZTE's managed services portfolio grew rapidly, and we have signed managed services contracts with a number of operators in Europe and North America. ZTE will help network operators achieve efficient operations with comprehensive and high-quality services," said Yang Jiaxiao, general manager of ZTE's service product line.

In 2011, ZTE intends to focus on managed services as well as cloud computing and integrated circuit in terms of strategic development and direction. With this approach, it intends to provide increasingly customised service solutions to global operators.
