ZTE In Key ITU Optical Amplifier Work
The successful drafting of G.665 follows a one-year collaboration between several member companies of SG15/Q17, including ZTE, Nortel, Lucent and Corning. It provides a standard for evaluating various Raman amplifiers, which is required for the large scale application of Raman amplification technology to ultra long haul and longer span transmission.
"We are very pleased to have been leading the drafting work on this important international standard," said Mr Xie Daxiong, SVP of ZTE.
"ZTE values its work with the ITU and we plan to remain at the forefront of technical innovation with our continued participation in the formulation of national and international telecommunications industry standards and research."
ZTE already plays an active role at the ITU, having been appointed to edit six new standards relating to optical communications, next generation networks (NGNs) and information security in mobile communications. A member of all three ITU sectors - telecommunication development (ITU-D), telecommunication standardisation (ITU-T) and radiocommunication (ITU-R) - ZTE is working to develop tomorrow's networks and services. The corporation has hosted several important conferences and participated in more than 30 international standardisation groups, including the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the CDMA Development Group (CDG), the DSL Forum, and the Network Processing Forum (NPF).
ZTE is committed to developing new technologies: the corporation has invested about 10% of its revenues in research and development; more than 8,200 of all ZTE personnel are involved in this area and more than 5,800 of the 21,000-strong workforce have Masters degrees, 400 have PhDs. The corporation owns 2200 patents, with most of these being for original innovations, and operates 11 research and development centres worldwide, including establishments in Sweden, the USA and South Korea.
