ZTE unveils new Unified Open Environment platform for telecom operators

Chinese fast growing telecom company ZTE Corporation has released Unified Open Environment (UOE) platform for telecom operators to develop and offer new mobile services. The ZTE UOE service platform is aimed at addressing future global demand for network expansion and application development.

The new ZTE UOE network solution comprises an open module service capability and service development environment, two of its key features that allow modular deployment of different service networks. With an open module service capability, it provides telecom operators a unified management platform for integrated service management operation and monitoring, and unified content management. UOE defines a common API for several international organizations, including Parlay/OSA and JCP, two technical industry consortiums that specify APIs for the telephone network.

ZTE says, using this platform, telecom operators can develop unique value added services, such as mobile newspapers, mobile stock exchange, instant mobile news, video conferencing, voice mail and BlackBerry applications.

"Our UOE solution enables the most efficient and flexible network infrastructure for the telecom industry and takes mobile operators to a new level of true network service convergence," said Mr. Wang Xiang, vice president and general manager of ZTE's VAS products. "It is a key component to success for promoting the growth and development of value added mobile services, hence sustaining network service quality and enhancing user experience."
