The center will monitor telecom networks in 23 European states.

“The center will be operational by the end of September this year and will have around 250 employees. We have already recruited around 220 people, who are currently in training. The center will be open in a city in western Romania and will provide monitoring services for telecom networks in 23 EU and non-EU countries,” ZTE Romania general manager Lorian Vintila said Thursday .

He added the opening of the services center is part of a EUR100 million investment program that will continue until 2015.

The program includes the opening of a service center in southern Romania and a production line.

“The two objectives are scheduled for 2015,” said Vintila.
