ZTE, a provider of telecommunications equipment and network offerings, has been selected by BelTelecom, a national telecoms operator owned by the Belarus government, to deploy national broadband network project in Belarus.
Under the contract, ZTE will use GPON technology to design and deploy a nationwide Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) network for BelTelecom.
The multi-phase project will cover all the seven regions of the country, including the capital of Minsk, with expansion planned for subsequent phases.
Through this project, BelTelecom expects to provide — data and video services; broadband applications such as distance education and telemedicine, across a high-speed Internet infrastructure; and deliver HDTV service to users across the country.
ZTE vice-president Xu Ming said that ever since the company started to supply fixed-line terminals, they have been offering customised products and services.
