ZTE, a provider of telecommunications equipment and network offerings, has said that it will launch its cloud-based apps store iMarket to global operators at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week.
The new apps store iMarket is designed to provide operators with a converged trading and services platform that enables them to deliver access to an array of apps and content including videos, games, animations and books to their customers.
The iMarket will run on the existing terminals including: handsets, PCs, and also the tablets.
The new service is also a cloud-based service, which allows operators to manage their own-branded delivery services and content through the iMarket platform.
In addition, depending on the type of content the user wants to use, all iMarket products can either be downloaded and used offline, or experienced online.
Further, the company also provides operators with platform deployment, operation consultancy and software applications according to the individual operators’ requirements.
ZTE vice president and general manager of services products Yu Yifang said the company has made major investments in the development of cloud computing, and mobile Internet applications including the Internet of Things in recent years.
"In 2010, ZTE Internet of Things was deployed at Expo 2010 Shanghai and received a CDMA Development Group Award and ZTE iMarket is a continuation of those significant developments," Yifang said.
