ZTE，a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions，launched the intelligent IP network management system，ZTESmart IP，at ITU Telecom World 2OO6 in Hong Kong.

The ZTESmart IPsolution is a network management system that enables carriers to transition from being traditional telecoms carriers to integrated information service providers，placing the emphasis on delivery of multiple IP services rather than network capacity.

Smart IPrebuilds the IPvalue chain by evolving the IP multi-service bearer network to being an IPmulti-service bearer control platform which helps carriers optimize the delivery of services.

Smart IPcan manage service quality and individualusers'experience while changing the traditional telecommunications service to a managed IPplatform，helping carriers to differentiate themselves strongly in the open and competitive IPplatform market.

Smart IPfocuses on three key areas to rebuild the IPvalue chain:more precise resource allocation；flexible resource scheduling；and the provision of brand-new services.

Using ZTE's DPItechnology to sense the services being delivered，Smart IPcan identify resource demand right down to the level of an individual user and the application being used，and then manage the provision of bandwidth to ensure the optimum delivery of services to allusers.

The ZTESmart IPsolution can manage large volumes of services within existing systems so that major investments in capacity expansion are not required.With the ability to constantly identify services and control their provision，carriers can classify services based on the quality required and offer differentiated services based on provision quality levels.This also means that carriers can enable users to subscribe to services according to specified service levels.

The ZTESmart IPsystem solves a major issue for enterprise CIOs by creating an integrated and simple information platform.The system makes a network clever，providing a platform for delivering multiple voice，data and video services.

ZTEbelieves that the Smart IPsystem will lower carriers'costs for delivering the IPchain，with a simple and fully integrated solution.
