ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of 
telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile 
Internet, today announced that it has secured the western network project in 
China Mobile's phase-13 centralized procurement for inter-provincial backbone 
transport network equipment. The western network, covering 19 provinces of 
China, will be the world's largest commercial optical transport network (OTN), 
with a total link length reaching 53,828 km.

In this western network project, ZTE will provide different coding modes to 
flexibly meet long-haul, medium-haul and short-haul transmission scenarios in 
China Mobile's western network. 

Moreover, ZTE's unique Beyond-100G Flex Shaping algorithm can achieve 
multi-point optimization on the optical and electrical layers to effectively 
improve the transmission distance and substantially reduce the regeneration 
boards, thereby greatly saving network construction costs.  

ZTE is recognized as one of the few vendors with the complete 200G optical and 
electrical hybrid cross-connect solution. Its ROADM and OXC architecture 
supports flexible service scheduling on the optical layer, thereby improving 
operation and maintenance efficiency and shortening service provisioning time. 

Aiming to address the traffic boom in the 5G era, China Mobile has been 
focusing on the construction of an ultra-high-speed 100G OTN network for many 
years, covering all of China. The backbone OTN network in this centralized 
procurement is composed of the eastern and western networks. 

ZTE has been deeply involved in the construction of China Mobile's western 
backbone OTN, and has built two 100G OTN western networks for China Mobile. The 
two networks cover 20 provinces and municipalities across China, achieving a 
total area of 7,729,100 square kilometers, about 80% of the land area of China. 

ZTE is a provider of advanced telecommunications systems, mobile devices and 
enterprise technology solutions to consumers, operators, companies and public 
sector customers. As a part of ZTE's strategy, the company is committed to 
providing customers with integrated end-to-end innovations to deliver 
excellence and value as the telecommunications and information technology 
sectors converge. Listed in the stock exchanges of Hong Kong and Shenzhen (H 
share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), ZTE sells its 
products and services in more than 160 countries.

To date, ZTE has obtained 46 commercial 5G contracts in major markets, such as 
Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa (MEA). ZTE commits 10 percent of 
its annual revenues to research and development and takes leadership roles in 
international standard-setting organizations.
