ZTE scores big with China Mobile in high-end router bid section 4

摘要

ZTE Corp. landed half of section 4 of China Mobile's high-end router/switch centralized procurement 2021-2022. As a result, ZTE will supply its ZXR10 M6000-18 S and ZXR10 M6000-8S Plus routers to China Mobile. The share was the largest granted in section 4, which is expected to be the largest of the sections put out to bid, ZTE adds. China Mobile will use the ZTE routers in service router and provider edge applications to support cloud private networks, network clouds, 5G UPF (User Plane Function), IP private networks, and metropolitan area networks. The platforms also will be used for future IP network evolution, the technology vendor states. And the company hopes there are more sales to come. ZTE says its ZXR10 T8000 and ZXR10 M6000-3S routers came in at No. 2 in an assessment conducted in June, making them eligible for bid sections 3 and 5. The current successes follow ZTE seeing its ZXR10 M6000-S ranked No. 1 in section 2 (for 2T high-end routers) and No. 2 in section 3 (for 400G high-end routers) in China Mobile's high-end router centralized procurement 2019-2020. As a result, ZTE asserts the ZXR10 M6000-S has achieved a Top 2 market share position within China.
