Global telecoms equipment provider ZTE Corporation launched a type of 3G netbooks coded V60 in Beijing on April 10, 2008, citing a report. 

The netbooks are produced by OEMs, whose names were not disclosed. Adopting the Intel Atom processor platform, the terminals are compatible with the WCDMA network under China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited (SEHK: 0762 and NYSE: CHU), which is said to start 3G services on May 17, 2009, the World Telecom day.

Later, ZTE will launch netbooks available to the TD-CDMA and CDMA2000, the other two 3G standards which are licensed in China. And it will mainly cooperate with telecoms operators in the distribution of its 3G netbooks, instead of marketing them itself.

After May 17, the company will put up WCDMA WLAN cards, which facilitate maximum uploading and downloading speeds of 7.2 megabytes and 5.76 megabytes, respectively. In addition, ZTE announced that it would offer nine kinds of 3G terminals with 40 types in the future, such as mobile phones.
