Success Stories in Overseas Markets

GoTa in Malaysia―Selected by Electcoms for Large-Scale Commercial Use

On January 9, 2007, Electcoms, Malaysia's leading trunking radio and radio-paging operator, held a press conference in Kuala Lumpur announcing the commercial use of the network based on ZTE's GoTa. This is the large-scale commercialization of the Chinese-developed digital trunking system in the overseas market. The launch was attended by the minister of Malaysia Communications Ministry, and China's ambassador to Malaysia.

Electcoms entered the Malaysian analog trunking communications market in 1989, and now has 75% market share, with services principally covering the economically developed West Malaysia. The company began to track the digital trunking technology and solutions in 1999. It reviewed a wide range of vendors for the current project and selected ZTE's CDMA-based GoTa as a strategic technology for the future development of its trunking networks based on the system's feature-rich services and advanced digital technologies.

In December 2005, ZTE signed a commercial contract with Electcoms at the signing ceremony of "China-Malaysia Economic Cooperation Projects", which marked the start of a long-term strategic cooperation between ZTE and Electcoms.

The Electcoms GoTa network was built in three phases. Phase 1 of the network covers West Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur, and is expected to reach a subscriber base of about 50,000 in two to three years; Phase 2 and Phase 3 will expand the Phase 1 system to cover the whole of Malaysia.
