August 12, 2016
Shanghai, China - Nokia and China Telecom have signed an agreement to expand the
deployment of 4G technology in 19 provinces in China, allowing China Telecom to
enhance coverage and capacity as well as the quality of experience for
subscribers, while paving the way toward the introduction of 5G technology.
By expanding the radio access network, China Telecom will meet growing
subscriber demand with ubiquitous 4G coverage and faster access to the Internet
and online content, as well as improve access in urban and suburban areas. The
agreement with Nokia will also lay the foundation for China Telecom's intended
launch of Voice over LTE (VoLTE) services in 2017.
China Telecom's subscriber and traffic growth has been growing rapidly: at the
end of June the operator had nearly 207 million mobile subscribers, with 90
million users of 4G devices, an increase of more than 31 million during the
first six months of 2016. Last year the company saw 4G traffic increase by more
than six times, and it is predicted to account for more than 90 percent of
mobile data traffic on the network by 2017.
