China’s ZTE Takes Third Generation Mobile Phones to East Timor

Dili, East Timor, 06 July – Chinese telecom company, ZTE is working with Timor Telecom to introduce third generation mobile phones throughout the country, making telecommunications one of the main sectors for bilateral cooperation, on a par with energy.

“According to the contract, by expanding East Timor’s existing Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), coverage of the whole country will be achieved, as well as access to WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) services, which establishes the rules for radio access used by ZTE Corporation for third generation mobile systems,” says the statement by the Economic and Commercial Section of the Chinese Embassy in East Timor.

The signing ceremony for the contract between China’s ZTE Corporation and Timor Telecom for the provision of third generation equipment and services for 3G mobile phone requirements and technologies took place in Dili last May.
