Wintel to market ZTE phone sets


Wintel Limited, a leading ICT company, yesterday signed a deal with ZTE Corporation, a Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturer, to market ZTE GSM and CDMA mobile and fixed phones in Bangladesh.

Faisal Alim, managing director of Wintel, and CAO Chenggang, ZTE chief representative in Bangladesh, signed the agreement on behalf of their companies.

"Wintel will try to market ZTE sets at affordable prices," Faisal Alaim told reporters following the signing of the agreement.

Alim said Wintel has a target to sell some 8,000 handsets in the current fiscal year. The price of a GSM handset will start from Tk 3,800.

He thanked the government for reducing the tax on handsets. He also called for cut in tax on SIM (subscriber identity module) cards.
