Revenues from carrier network equipment fell 10.6 percent to CNY 41.6 billion, and sales of end-user devices dropped 4.1 percent to CNY 25.8 billion. In software, services and other products, where ZTE has been looking to expand in the government and enterprise segments, the group grew revenues 31.1 percent last year to CNY 16.8 billion.
