ZTE is a comprehensive listed communications manufacturing company in China and one of the fastest-growing telecommunications solutions providers in the world in recent years.

ZTE was founded in 1985. In 1997, ZTE's A-shares were listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. In December 2004, ZTE became the first mainland Chinese A-share listed company to successfully list in Hong Kong. In 2006, ZTE's main business revenue exceeded 23 billion yuan, of which international revenue accounted for 44%. In 2006, with its outstanding global performance, ZTE was ranked among BusinessWeek's "Top Ten Important Overseas Listed Companies from China" and "Top 20 Best Chinese Brands," becoming the only Chinese communications equipment enterprise on the list.

As a large listed communications manufacturing company listed in both Hong Kong and Shenzhen, ZTE aims to meet customer needs by providing innovative, customized products and services to customers worldwide, helping them achieve sustained profitability and success and build a free and broad communications future. With outstanding strength in four major product areas—wireline products, wireless products, service products, and terminal products—ZTE has become one of the most important equipment providers in China's telecom market and provides high-quality, cost-effective products and services to more than 500 operators in over 120 countries worldwide.

ZTE is a key high-tech enterprise in China, a pilot enterprise for technological innovation, and a national 863 High-Tech Achievement Transformation Base. It has undertaken nearly 30 major national "863" projects and is one of the enterprises in the communications equipment field that has undertaken the most national 863 projects. The company invests about 10% of its sales revenue in scientific research each year and has established 15 research centers in the United States, India, Sweden, and China.

Rooted in China and looking to the world. As early as 1995, ZTE launched its internationalization strategy and is a benchmark enterprise in China's high-tech field that was the earliest and most successful in implementing the "going global" strategy. After "ten years of sharpening a sword" in international markets, ZTE has successively established long-term cooperative relationships with top global and multinational operators such as Hutchison Telecommunications, France Telecom, British Telecom, Vodafone, Telefonica, and Canada's Telus, and continues to break through high-end markets in developed countries.

In the future, ZTE will take "talent internationalization as the foundation, market internationalization as the focus, and capital internationalization as the support," actively meet challenges, go all out to create value and success for customers, build a globally renowned ZTE brand, and strive to become a most outstanding enterprise.
