The predecessor of ZTE corporation was founded as Zhongxing Semiconductor Co Ltd in 1985 at Shenzhen of China.

ZTE is planning to launch a security camera, which is a technical surveillance equipment used for banks, housing companies, malls etcetera. Similarly, ZTE is also looking forward to introduce the Smart Pad, which is a touch screen 3G Android Tablet PC. Its target customers for surveillance are institution and telecommunication companies while Smart Pads are aimed at customers who value having mobility at affordable price.
Advertising agency v-chitra, which handles publicity for ZTE, claims that the brand maintains high standards. It has provided equipment to Ncell and NTC, the leading telecommunications providers of Nepal. ZTE has also been supplying goods to NCell and other foreign government projects. Plans were made to launch ZTE products in Nepal about five months ago. As ZTE has a strong presence in over 148 countries, it was considered the right time to launch these products in the Nepali market. PK Traders is the authorised distributor for ZTE products in Nepal. ZTE will have a back up centre along with 200 plus service centres to provide after-sales service for the country.
The ZTE products will supposedly be branded in such a way that will justify the quality of the brand. The company promises to provide complete solutions for surveillance products to match specific needs of consumers in terms of service at affordable price. For surveillance products alone, ZTE sales have crossed USD 200 Million in 2009.
In the last 25 years, ZTE has changed the pattern and trend of global telecommunications and brought vigor and vitality to the global telecom industry.

ZTE covers virtually every sector of the wireline, wireless, service and terminal markets and was ranked as the number six terminal provider with the fastest growth rate of 36 per cent in the first half of 2009.
Aiming to become the most reliable customisation partners and the favourite brand of operators worldwide, ZTE cooperates and co-brands with operators increasing its own brand value while maximising customers’ interests.
