ZTE Supports Haiti

ZTE has announced that it has delivered solar-powered handsets and its GoTa trunking system to the Haiti government to provide much needed communication equipment needed for aid efforts for the victims of the earthquake that hit Haiti on January 14. The Company has confirmed that its 11 employees stationed in Haiti are safe and in a healthy condition. ZTE has contacted the employees' families to keep them informed of the current situation. ZTE also established a disaster response team to work with its Haiti office to develop and provide a relief program for Haiti's earthquake victims. The team is focused on providing expert communication infrastructure advice and is composed of ZTE's executive vice presidents and technical experts. With the local electricity and power infrastructure destroyed by the earthquake, priority was given to provide solar-powered handsets that could be effectively used by relief agencies on the ground. The first batch of 1500 ZTE's GSM solar mobile phones were dispatched to Haiti from Jamaica.
