SHENZHEN, China -- ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”) (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment, network solutions and mobile devices, has announced that the GoTa (Global open Trunking architecture) digital trunking standard submitted by China was accepted by the ITU (International Telecommunications Union) report on the ITU conference in Geneva.This marks another breakthrough in the field of communications standards for Chinese technology developers.

GoTa, now the digital trunking standard for the next generation, was jointly developed by ZTE and Chinese national research departments. A digital trunking system is a mobile communications network – using network-specific handsets communicating over a network just like a mobile phone system – that provides group scheduling command and communications with a high degree of security. It has been widely used by government organisations to provide scheduling and security for events such as Olympic Games, National Games, the European Cup and other major sporting events, as well as in public security, fire, ports, logistics, construction, transportation, forestry, rental, factories and enterprises as well as for individual requirements.

" It is very significant that GoTa has been accepted by international standard," said Lang Baozhen, expertof the China Academy of Telecommunication Research (CATR) at the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. "GoTa enters the field of digital trunking which has so far been dominated by other companies, and is a major advertisement for the industry-leading innovations coming out of the Chinese mobile communications industry. GoTa becoming international standard will help increase the reputation of the Chinese mobile communications sector in the international arena.”
