ZTE's new Generation Base Station Family at lTUTelecom World 2006

ZTE，a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions，launched its new WCDMA O&M Plant operations and management solution at ITU Telecom World.The new system has been developed in accordance with low cost construction trends，as smaller and lower power consumption base stations become increasingly attractive to operators.

In ZTE's booth，the comparatively small size of the new generation Baseband Band Unit（BBU）and Radio Research Unit（RRU）was shown to the public.The BBU is 3U in height and 19 inches in width，supporting 1O24CE；the RRU is only 19 liters in volume and 17 kilograms in weight.This will save considerable equipment space for operators and consequently decrease the construction cost of equipment rooms.

"The main feature of ZTE's new generation O&M plant is that of power saving，"said Mr.Qiang Cao，vice president of ZTEMobility."All the base stations adopt Doherty and Digital Protocol Definition（DPD）technologies，enabling amplifier efficiency to reach 3O%.Taking ZTEBO9 macro base station as an example，power consumption is only 8OOWwhen the new amplifier is adopted，saving 5O%on electricity，thereby considerably decreasing OPEX."

Moreover，features of the base stations and RRUs including multi-frequency support（85OM/9OOM/1 9OOM/2 1OOM），powerful HSDPAcapability，readiness for HSUPA，and smooth expansion of the Iub interface assure the maximum use of the equipment in network expansion，helping make full use of the initial investment and decrease CAPEXin network construction.

ZTEalso announced a variety of related solutions，e.g.Pico Access for indoor office environments and Home Node B for family environments.The two solutions solve the 3G indoor coverage issue，enabling standard telecommunications requirements any time and anywhere.ZTEdemonstrated its Multimedia Broadcast Multimedia Service（MBMS）and High Speed Uplink Packet Access（HSUPA）services at the exhibition.
