WCDMA Grows Fast

233 3G/WCDMA networks launched in 93 countries; has 90% market share of
commercial 3G networks
204 3G/HSDPA networks launched. Over 90% of commercial WCDMA
networks have launched HSDPA,44 3G/HSUPA networks launched.
14.4 Mbps (peak) launched on HSDPA networks ,5.76 Mbps (peak)
launched on HSUPA networks .
2.53 WCDMA-HSDPA million subs (31 Jun. 2008)
3G/WCDMA user devices: over 1232 terminals announced. HSDPA
user devices: 659 products launched
Low price terminals have been a mass production. The under 100
USD UEs have been launched in the market

3G Modes Compared and WCDMA development

GSM subscribers forecast

The GSM subscribers have a durative increasing till 2009. Then later,
the trends will be pull down

In 2009, the GSM subs. Quantity will reach 2.7 billion

Asia and Latin America is the dominate increasing area. The subs. will
exceed 1.5 billion in 2010.

3G Modes Compared and WCDMA development

WCDMA subscribers forecast

Informal forecast (reference from GSA): in 3 years, WCDMA subs. will reach 500
million. There into, there will be 300 million in Europe, 150 million in Asia Pacific and
50 million in Africa/Americas/Middle East

GSM/WCDMA increasing is much greater than cdma. GSM/WCDMA will be still in the dominate
position. cdma has the superiority in the WLL application.

3G technical standards evolution

WCDMA and WiMAX has the competition in the mobile high rate broadband access field. But there
are some complementarities in the mobile data solutions.

WiMAX has the superiority in high rate access of nomadic mode which has less mobility. WCDMA is
advanced in the data service seamless coverage with convenient mobility.

In Oct.31, 2005, ZTEs WCDMA network at Brunei successfully passed the DSTs radio
performance and service test. It began to offer wholly 3G service and achieve 2G/3G
access.

With only half of the schedule, ZTE finished the network construction and optimization, DST
highly commented ZTEs efficiency in network construction we are very satisfied with the
