The contract agreement also means ZTE will provide 2G, 3G, TDD, FDD and Wifi multi-network collaboration solutions with its EPC equipment and ensure a smooth evolution.
ZTE said it is also aiming to reduce the bandwidth costs, while improving user experience.
The vendor’s ePCC traffic management scheme also intends to provide flexible service packages, in addition to closed-loop control and open collaboration capabilities, with a view to helping carriers expand profit margins.
