Norway-based, Telenor group has inked a partnership with ZTE to provide the operator with new IP network gears for IP Core, Metro-E and IP-RAN networks. Under the contract, ZTE will supply its IT platform - ZXR10 T800 and Metro-E IP-RAN aggregation products - ZXR10, M6000-S and ZXCTN 9000-E based on the 400G platform. It also includes ZXCTN 6100 series, alongside the large-capacity, high port density MPLS switches ZXR10 5900E and ZXR10 8900E.
According to ZTE, these products meet the demand required by Telenor. ZTE’s wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) products, such as the ZXONE 9700, meet Core, Metro, and Access demands, said the vendor.
In February, Telenor entered into a five-year global framework agreement with ZTE to provide radio access network (RAN) equipment and services including 2G, 3G and 4G technologies.
