Huawei, ZTE continue their advance under US fire - DellOro

US efforts to halt the progress of Huawei and ZTE in global equipment markets have largely failed so far, according to new data published by respected market-research firm Dell'Oro. The Chinese equipment vendors both managed to grow their share of revenues from the world's overall telecom equipment market last year, while the US's Cisco and Finland's Nokia suffered declines, says Dell'Oro in a company blog published today and distributed by email. Data collected by the company shows that ZTE has staged an impressive recovery since 2018, when it was brought low by US trade sanctions that nearly drove it out of business. Since ZTE agreed to pay fines to have those sanctions lifted, its market share has risen two percentage points, to 10% of the total market last year.
