-/31 March, 2005 - Wi-Fi Technology News/-The opening of a flagship factory and R&D centre in India has been announced by ZTE Corporation (Shenzhen: 000063, Hong Kong: 0763), China?s largest listed telecommunications manufacturer and leading wireless solution provider. The facility forms the centrepiece of ZTE?s ongoing commitment to the Indian market.

Located in Manesar near Gurgaon, the factory covers an area of more than 4,000 square meters and contains the latest hi-tech equipment. ZTE will use the facility to manufacture CDMA, GSM, DSL, and NGN equipment, as well as handsets.

?ZTE has been committed to the Indian market for several years,? said Mr. Zhang Renjun, ZTE?s VP of the South-Asian region. ?Our new facility will provide additional local support to our valued Indian customers, allowing us to better meet their requirements and expectations. I am confident that ZTE will become one of the largest telecommunication enterprises in this fast-growing market.

Earlier this year, ZTE reached an agreement with Atlas Interactive worth more than one billion Rupees. The contract involves supplying and commissioning a TVoIP network as the foundation for a range of triple-play services for subscribers.
