During the first three quarters of 2015, ZTE's carrier network operating revenue increased by 22.40% compared with the same period of last year.

At the same time, ZTE's mobile device operating revenue decreased by 9.01% year-on-year, due to the revenue decrease in China; and its operating revenue from telecom software system, service, and other products increased by 45.78% year-on-year, due to revenue increase of video and network terminal products.
