ZTE Wins LTE Deployment Contract in Germany
Published on:
ZTE says that it has signed a deal to take a more substantial role in E-Plus's forthcoming LTE network expansion in Germany.
E-Plus has been working together with ZTE in the expansion of its UMTS network, the modernisation of its core network and the current LTE field trials. This cooperation will now continue with the deployment of the first phase of the LTE network.
In addition to the delivery of LTE base stations (eNodeB) and supporting E-Plus with the LTE network upgrade, ZTE will now implement its Evolved Packet Core (EPC) technologies, to more effectively enable the LTE roll-out.
"This year E-Plus will launch a demand-driven LTE expansion under the motto "Smart LTE". This will continue our user-oriented and economically targeted network expansion strategy," said Andreas Pfisterer, Chief Technology Officer, E-Plus Group. "The achievements of recent years have shown that ZTE is a suitable partner to pursue this strategy efficiently and successfully, for both the customer and the company."
ZTE will become the primary partner to deploy the LTE network for E-Plus by using the existing HSPA+ grid for LTE on 1800MHz.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
