Micro-P signs ZTE switches, telecoms distribution

Latest announcement from The Tech Crowd's channel matchmaking initiative

Exertis Micro-P has signed a distribution deal with telecommunications hardware vendor ZTE.

Gavin O'Shea, general manager for the networks and unified communications (UC) business at Micro-P, said ZTE had a very experienced and successful vendor team.

"The breadth of technology available allows us to draw together and present first-class products from across three of our business units," O'Shea said.

ZTE's kit includes enterprise switches, access points, controllers, customer premises equipment, videoconferencing hardware and IP telephony kit. The $10bn (£6bn) company is based in China, with a UK office in Brentford, Middlesex.

The brand is perhaps best known in the UK for its mobile phones.

According to a statement from consultancy The Tech Crowd, the deal is a result of its Channel Dragons vendor-channel matchmaking initiative. ZTE, Micro-P and The Tech Crowd will work together to achieve the sales and marketing targets.
