SHENZHEN, China -- ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”) (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), a publicly-listed global provider of telecommunications equipment, network solutions and mobile devices, today announced that its customer Hutchison 3G (H3G) Austria has successfully completed national roaming (NR) based on MOCN (Multi-Operator Core Network) architecture, covering two thirds of the territory of Austria, using ZTE technology.

To enable 3G NR ZTE provided H3G with MOCN technology which allows NR partners to connect to the H3G UTRAN network. As a result of the project both CS and PS traffic are increased significantly. The ZTE SDRbase stations and network controller, together with the core ZTE network, ensured that the project, which covered more than 9000 MOCN cells, did not affect the experience of H3G’s subscribers.

Benefitting from excellent network performance, H3G Austria users number is increasing fast. While test results show that the average upload rate is still over 50% higher than other networks and the average download rate is approximately 11.7Mbps. Thanks to excellent quality and good coverage of NR solution based on MOCN architecture from ZTE, H3G is operating a network with stronger competitiveness.
