ZTE to Open Training Center in Colombia

­ZTE has announced its partnership with the Javeriana University of Colombia to build a telecommunications laboratory. ZTE has invested US$4 million for the construction of this lab, which will provide training for students from the Electronics Department of Javeriana University and to ZTE´s customers around Latin America, mainly focused on the wire-line infrastructure products, such as NGN, Transmission (including SDH, DWDM, micro-wave) and net access (MSAG, DSLAM).

With this lab, which will initiate activities at the beginning of 2010, ZTE and Javeriana University will offer access to telecommunication equipment and training courses for approximately 500 customers per year.

"With our new lab we are demonstrating our heritage and core understanding of Latin America carriers and their technology requirements," said Mr Su Jian, ZTE Columbia President.

This Centre, along with the other regional training facility built in Brazil; intends to provide training services to a wider range of customers in Latin America.
