ZTE Corporation, China’s largest listed telecommunications manufacturer, has announced today the opening of its new US Corporate Headquarters in Dallas, Texas.

The new office will support ZTE’s long established R&D centres in New Jersey, Dallas and San Diego and signifies the Corporation’s commitment to its progress within the US market.

Since 1998, ZTE’s US R&D centres have focussed on three principal communications systems: VoIP, optical broadband access and wireless solutions, and have established ZTE as one of the leading manufacturers of WiMAX technology.

“From our centre in San Diego we have continued to develop products and services for this market and our leading position in WiMAX technology is a result of this approach,” said James Jiang, President of ZiMAX Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of ZTE Corporation. “This new office will give us the centrally located organization that we need to progress in the US market.”

Already in 2005, ZTE has signed partnership agreements with Qualcomm, Spirent and, in the WiMAX field, with Intel Corporation. This agreement will see Intel and ZTE cooperate to develop and promote standards and specifications for 802.16-based networks.
