Andrew Corporation, a global leader in communications systems and products, has won ZTE Corporation’s “2007 Best Partner Award,” the second consecutive year it has received this global honor from the Shenzhen, China-based provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions.
By providing advanced and reliable products and solutions to ZTE, Andrew has played an important role in supporting the company’s expansion in China and internationally. Andrew’s antenna and cable equipment is installed in all ZTE-built CDMA, WCDMA and CDMA2000 networks, and Andrew has conducted research and development in support of ZTE’s TD-SCDMA antennas and power amplifiers. Andrew also has actively assisted ZTE in its expansion in new markets such as India, the Czech Republic, Norway and South Korea.
ZTE’s “2007 Best Partner Award” is full recognition of Andrew’s key role in the development of China’s telecom industry and its provision of first-rate network infrastructures and solutions, according to Patrick Leung, managing director-China, Andrew Corporation.
“It is a privilege to be named ZTE’s best partner,” said Leung. “It is powerful recognition of Andrew’s ability to cooperate with a fast-growing major equipment manufacturer such as ZTE and satisfy its high-level requirements in terms of quality and service. We look forward to extending our support of ZTE as it continues its emergence as a powerful force in the international telecommunications market.”
In addition to the ZTE honor, Andrew this year also received Samsung Electronics Corporation’s “Best Partner” award. The company has received similar honors from customers such as Lucent, Siemens and Nortel in the past three years.
