MultiService Forum Tests Conducted in China and Germany

ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”), a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, announced today the deployment of Spain's first WiMAX 802.16e network with Iberbanda, a Spanish broadband telecommunications operator.

The deployment was executed in the Spanish regions of Galicia on the north-west coast of the country and neighboring Asturias. The initiative will provide high-speed broadband access services.

The deal follows an existing agreement signed between ZTE and Iberbanda in December 2009 to supply 500 WiMAX base stations for two years to provide high-speed broadband services to the rural parts of Spain.

ZTE has built the largest 2.3G WiMAX commercial network in Southeast Asia with 170,000 subscribers.

As of June 2010, ZTE has successfully rolled out 59 WiMAX networks in 41 countries. ZTE's equipment has been supplied to high-end markets such as the USA, Japan and Europe. In 2009, ZTE was ranked among the top three WiMAX vendors worldwide in terms of new network deployment by Frost & Sullivan.
