ZTE’s latest PTN products set new industry benchmark in performance   

New ZXCTN 6180 packet transport network provides industry-leading 100G switching capacity and interface capacity, offering the highest port integration; new ZXCTN 6120S is industry’s first 1U-high 10GE product

23 September 2014, Shenzhen, China – ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”) (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), a publicly-listed global provider of telecommunications equipment, network solutions and mobile devices, has launched new access-layer packet transport network (PTN) products in the company’s market-leading ZXCTN 6000 family to enable customers to build higher-performance networks.

The new ZXCTN 6180 offers the industry’s largest capacity and highest port integration, providing 100 gigabits per second (100G) switching capacity and interface capacity. Compared with traditional equipment, the 3U-high ZXCTN 6180 increases 10GE (10-gigabit Ethernet) full-rate access capability by 150 percent, and Gigabit Ethernet access capability by 67.7 percent, making it the preferred equipment for complex multiservice access.

The new ZXCTN 6120S is the industry’s first 1U-high 10GE product, enabling customers to meet 10GE networking requirements of multiple complex scenarios. With the new 200mm-deep design, the size and weight is reduced by 70 percent when compared to similar traditional products, providing the industry’s highest integration. It supports wall-mounted, desktop, indoor cabinet and outdoor cabinet installation modes to meet the requirements of complex macro station and wireless room sub-station access. This results in the saving of space, equipment room and investment on supporting devices.

The rapid development of mobile Internet and the increased deployment of 4G LTE networks globally demand new solutions in the construction and development of the bearer network. Due to the large deployment of LTE base stations and the large-scale introduction of VIP services at the access layer, it is difficult for the Gigabit Ethernet access ring to meet that demand. More carriers are upgrading their GE access rings to 10GE access rings using 10GE packet transport equipment at the access layer.

Most 10GE access-layer 10GE PTN equipment available on the market has limited 10GE port capability. They typically support only a small number of 10GE ports, with a small number of slots supporting the 10GE interface. In the strictest sense, most 10GE PTN equipment available could only be referred to as “quasi-10GE equipment”, with limited applications and support for future upgrades, making it difficult to meet the requirements of operators as LTE networks develop and evolve.

The ZXCTN 6150 and ZXCTN 6180 are the industry’s only products adopting the common slot design. All slots flexibly support any board, providing no limit to installation and use. The board application is flexible and slot utilisation rate is 100%, the industry’s highest.

The ZXCTN 6180 and ZXCTN 6120S are the latest members of ZTE’s industry-leading ZXCTN 6000 access-layer PTN product series. A leader in the PTN/IP RAN market globally, the ZXCTN 6000 family is deployed commercially by hundreds of carriers around the world, including China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom. The ZXCTN 6000 family offers excellent performance, mature and stable operation and is convenient to deploy and maintain.

The ZXCTN 6180, ZXCTN 6120S and other new products in the ZXCTN 6000 family fully support 10GE interfaces, with all slots supporting a 10GE board to meet the needs of LTE and next-generation networks. The new ZXCTN 6000 family supports MPLS-TP and IP/MPLS protocols, offering the ability to transport 2G, 3G, LTE and VIP services, enabling customers to build a superior PTN/IP RAN network.

In addition, the powerful hybrid networking capability, IPv6 Ready and H-QoS assure the high-quality transport of major services. Circle emulation protocol (CEP) allows the seamless interconnection with existing SDH networks. End to end mobile backhaul networks can be built with PTN microwave equipment. A highly accurate clock synchronisation solution provides rich synchronous operation and maintenance, delivering Support SyncE, 1588V2, adaptive clock, and differential clock synchronisation. ZTE is a pioneer of the “SyncE + 1588V2” solution which has become the preferred solution of global wireless carriers. The network/equipment-level synchronisation, operation administration and maintenance (OAM) solution, covers clock and time synchronisation performance monitoring, controlling the synchronisation status of the entire network through network management.
