ZTE said that it had built and deployed a value added services platform for Vodafone Essar, the Indian arm of the international operator group. The company said that as part of the project, ZTE India has created the MNS and MMSC platforms for the operator, “under a revenue-sharing model for the first time.” This is said to “herald a new dimension for ZTE’s business in India as it expands its focus from being an equipment provider to also emerge as an end-to-end VAS solutions provider.”
