Telecommunications equipment and network applications provider ZTE has signed a contract with China Telecom to build an IMS phase II network in China.

The new contract includes construction of an IMS phase II network covering 12 Chinese provinces, including: Anhui, Chongqing, Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Jilin, Liaoning, and Ningxia, Shanxi, Tianjing and Yunnan.

Under the contract, ZTE will provide fixed network transformation, security networking, development interworking and network evolution to China Telecom.

ZTE IMS serial NEs are based on its Enhanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ETCA) platform, which delivers improved performance and security.

ZTE’s fixed network transformation application can absorb all existing services while improving user experiences.
