ZTE Wins Two Great GTI Awards Showing Its Leading Position in the TD-LTE Market
SHENZHEN, China - Tuesday, February 25th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
Mobile World Congress 2014
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 won the Innovative Solution and the Fastest Market Development awards from the Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI) in Barcelona, Spain.
The GTI awards recognise the successful deployment of ZTE’s Cloud Radio Solution in Chinese TD-LTE commercial networks and ZTE’s leading position in the global TD-LTE market. The two awards highlight ZTE's capabilities in sustainable innovation and its contributions to the booming global TD-LTE market.
Commercial 4G networks are being formally launched in China, and ZTE has successfully deployed its Cloud Radio Solution in China Mobile’s existing 4G networks. Cloud Radio is a generic term for IP-based cross-station collaboration solutions, which effectively improve the average capacity of existing 4G networks and offer the best user experience.
Through continuous research and tests, ZTE discovered that the industry and 3GPP had underestimated the gain produced by inter-station collaboration and had not addressed potential delays. Based on the above two concerns, ZTE has developed the necessary corrections to make its Cloud Radio Solution as effective as possible. The results show that the ZTE Cloud Radio Solution not only offers a higher transmission rate in edge areas but also greatly improves the transmission rate in central areas. This thoroughly eliminates the industry's concern on the Coordination of Multi Point (CoMP) aspect of Cloud Radio.
ZTE has already deployed its Cloud Radio Solution over existing 4G networks in cities including Guangzhou, Tianjin, Quanzhou, Dalian and Hong Kong. The solution will help operators effectively improve their network capacity and user experience without making any additional hardware investments.
"ZTE has kept on offering operators networks that can cost-effectively evolve to future technology generations, and cooperated with wireless network operators to offer users the best 4G experience," said Dr. Zhao Xianming, ZTE EVP, CTO. "These Innovative Solution and Fastest Market Development awards show the industry's recognition of ZTE's innovative abilities in the TD-LTE field and the contributions that ZTE has made for the fast advancement of the entire industry chain. ZTE will keep on making strategic investments on innovation to strengthen its leading position in the TD-LTE field."
ZTE has constructed TD-LTE pilot and commercial networks for 66 operators in 44 countries across Europe, CIS, Asia-Pacific and America, including 35 TD-LTE commercial contracts. ZTE has become the fastest growing provider of 4G networks, with contracts in 70 percent of the countries that have launched TD-LTE networks, with operators including Bharti, China Mobile, China Telecom, Hutchison, Telenor, TeliaSonera and VimpelCom.

Analogix Announces Availability of SlimPort-4K Product Line-Up
4K Ultra-HD SlimPort transmitters and receivers feed an ever-expanding ecosystem
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Monday, February 24th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
Mobile World Congress 2014
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Analogix Semiconductor, Inc., today announced the availability of its highly integrated SlimPort-4K product line, which allows users to share content from their mobile devices on external displays at up to 4K Ultra-HD resolution, with 3D graphics and audio.
Analogix’s high-speed, ultra-low power SlimPort-4K transmitter, ANX7816, is in mass production and the SlimPort-4K receiver, ANX7738, is sampling.
SlimPort components and adaptors are DisplayPort (DP1.2/MyDP1.0) certified. The DisplayPort standard provides for even higher frequencies and Analogix is already developing the next generation of SlimPort® transmitters that will support 4K at 60 frames per second – which provides the smooth, life-like cinematic experience desired by movie viewers.
“With SlimPort-4K the video output capabilities of smart phones and tablets surpass that of most mainstream Blu-ray video players,” said Andre Bouwer, vice president of Marketing for Analogix. “This gives smart phone owners the flexibility to watch movies on their small screen when on the go, or on the big screen when at home and recharging their batteries without compromising video quality.”
The SlimPort-4K transmitters and receivers have versions supporting the latest High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP2.2) encryption standard, so content owners are assured their copyrights are secure.
With numerous manufacturers having introduced SlimPort-enabled products in a variety of form factors, supporting multiple system processors and operating systems, as well as accessory manufacturers rolling out an assortment of adaptors to connect SlimPort-enabled devices to larger displays, SlimPort® is becoming the de-facto mobile interface solution for display, data and charging over mobile USB connectors.
The SlimPort transmitters integrate all of the components needed in the smart phone into a single chip. This reduces the system cost so that SlimPort can be added to mainstream mobile devices without compromising the user experience.

OT Innovates in Mobile Security with FIDO Authentication
Mobile World Congress 2014
COLOMBES, France. - Monday, February 24th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE) Oberthur Technologies, a world leader in digital security solutions for the mobility space, will demonstrate two innovations during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona: the first worldwide implementation of FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) authentication in a SIM, and a voice biometry authentication, both allowing a more convenient and secure mobile user experience.
Accessing Cloud services requires users to authenticate themselves, using multiple passwords or PIN codes, which are neither secure, nor user-friendly. The FIDO Alliance has developed open standards specifications to both simplify authentication and simultaneously improve security and ensure user privacy. The use of the SIM card, the universal hardware element present in all mobile phones, ensures a highest level of security. The FIDO customer experience will be demonstrated on the OT booth, Hall 6 Stand 6I28.
Based on biometrics, “My Voice is My Password” solution is a second demonstration of “convenient security”. It can replace any authentication mechanism, making the customer experience easier and more secure. The speaker is recognised thanks to his voice, which is inherently unique. The biometrics data and software are safe thanks to the use of the only trustworthy element in a mobile phone: a secure element.
OT is biometric technology agnostic. Voice recognition is one of the simplest biometrics technologies as it does not require a specific sensor (only a microphone). Furthermore, it is revocable (by changing the passphrase), includes anti-spoofing technologies. “My Voice is My Password” had been developed in partnership with AGNITiO, a market leader in voice biometrics for the government and commercial markets.
The solution has been recognised by the Industry with a Sesames Award at Cartes 2013 amongst 320 proposals coming from 85 companies, from 30 different countries across five continents. Furthermore, at CES 2014, the world’s largest consumer electronics show, AGNITiO Voice iD was presented with an Envisioneering Innovation & Design Award.
“The collaboration among FIDO Alliance board member Oberthur Technologies and founding members demonstrates the innovation open FIDO authentication is spawning and presages the value when strong authentication methods interoperate,” said Michael Barrett, president of the FIDO Alliance.
“FIDO authentication in the SIM and My Voice is My Password are concrete examples of how OT invents new services that ease the life of the end user. As a leader in digital security solutions for the mobility space, OT also guarantees security, privacy of the data” said Mike Bell, Senior Vice President North America of the Telecom Business Unit at OT.

ZTE Launches the World's First Virtualised Cloud NF Solution for Multi-Radio Access Technology
Mobile World Congress 2014
ME Newswire / Business Wire
SHENZHEN, China - Monday, February 24th 2014
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 the world's first virtualised Cloud NF (network function) solution for multi-RAT (radio access technology) networks.
The evolution of mobile networks to flat, cloud-based networks will improve operator competitiveness and simplify operations, administration and management (OAM). In response to this trend, ZTE has developed the Cloud NF solution, which integrates the functions of core networks and controllers through network functions virtualisation (NFV).
The Cloud NF solution uses virtualisation technology to separate hardware from software in the architecture and integrates all network element functions of the mobile network. In addition, it applies the software-defined networking (SDN) concept to separate the gateway forwarding function from the core network, which improves forwarding efficiency.
In collaboration with Intel, ZTE has used a common Intel® architecture hardware platform to build the entire system. ZTE is one of the leading developers of software for wireless system solutions provided by Intel. Through the use of this software, the ZTE Cloud NF solution achieves outstanding performance.
Mr. Liu Jianhua, CEO of ZTE’s Core Network Product Line, said: “We are glad to work with Intel on technology innovation and the Cloud NF system, an industry-leading virtualisation solution. Our architecture provides an efficient solution for deploying multi-mode 2G/3G/4G multi-layer networks; and enables the smooth transition from legacy networks through to 5G networks.”
The ZTE Cloud NF solution has completed joint testing with a leading operator in China, during which the mobile network virtualisation solution performed very well. It will be promoted around the world in 2014, with a focus on its application in 4G networks.
