ZTE has a strong
focus on the government, energy, transportation and public utilities sectors,
and combines channel sales and direct operator sales to provide the Middle East
and Africa with full-fledged ICT solutions and services at multiple levels and
in many different fields.
After a decade of commitment to the MEA markets, ZTE's
solutions in public safety, green energy, rail transport communications and
public utilities are being used in ten countries in the region, and its market
share is rising steadily.
ZTE launched
the U-World brand exclusively in the Middle East and Africa to provide a set of
solutions for different industries tailored for MEA markets, including U-Safety
for public safety, U-Highway for national broadband networks, U-Government for
digital government, U-Power for smart grids, U-Oil & Gas for digital oil
and gas, i-Rail of U-Transportation for rail transport, U-DTV, and e-Education.
These innovative and integrated ICT solutions and services will be featured at
GITEX 2014. They facilitate the development of enterprise businesses, improve
the efficiency of governments, create a safe society, and greatly contribute to
the economy and people's livelihoods in these regions.
ZTE has
helped the Kenyan government achieve an information-based public service, and assisted
Ethiopia, Egypt, Mozambique and Nigeria in building information-based education
systems, and made further contributions to the education sector in Africa. ZTE has
also contributed to the development of the communities it works in, donating
funds to build primary schools and orphanages in Kenya and Ethiopia, and
establishing ICT training centres in South Africa, Egypt, Algeria and Ethiopia.
ZTE has
helped Ethiopia build its first fully-fledged structure for communications
technology training, and trained telecom engineers and management personnel for
the country through an engineer training programme carried out from 2008 to
2012. In addition, ZTE has established partnerships with many universities in
Africa for the integration of enterprises, universities and research
institutes, providing graduates with internship opportunities and setting up
factories providing job opportunities in countries such as a factory in Congo
Kinshasa and training centre in Equatorial Guinea.
"ZTE is
very optimistic about the market potential for government and enterprise
networks in the MEA region," commented Huang Dabin, senior vice president
of ZTE. "With the principle of satisfying demands based on local
conditions, ZTE will continue to provide flexible, personalised and tailored
services through its state-of-the-art wireless communications technologies and
