(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Will support China Mobile in its first large-scale TD-LTE trial network
deployment in China
* Network to be located in Shenzhen - a highly advanced telecoms market
* Official interoperability tests in progress with ST-Ericsson and Qualcomm
Incorporated to secure global ecosystem
China Mobile has selected Ericsson to participate in the world's largest TD-LTE
trial network deployment to date. With the approval of the Chinese Ministry of
Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), Ericsson will build a TD-LTE trial
network in the city of Shenzhen, one of the most advanced telecommunications
markets in China.
The approval by MIIT follows the successful completion of interoperability tests
of Ericsson's TD-LTE network equipment with multiple chipset manufacturers. As
part of its efforts to further develop the global ecosystem, Ericsson is
proactively conducting interoperability tests with leading international players
such as ST-Ericsson and Qualcomm.
Mats H Olsson, President of Ericsson China & North East Asia, says: "China
Mobile has always been a formidable force in driving the evolution of
telecommunications technologies. As a longtime strategic partner to China
Mobile, Ericsson will fully support our customer in its tremendous endeavor to
make TD-LTE a reality in the foreseeable future. Tens of millions of users, not
only in China but also around the world, will benefit from the new and better
services enabled by the superior TD-LTE technology, and we are thrilled to be
part of this initiative."
Ericsson will provide the industry-leading end-to-end TD-LTE solution, which
includes its latest multi-standard base station, RBS 6000 and its commercially
proven Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network; operations support systems software
and professional services. As early as July 2010, Ericsson demonstrated
extremely high-speed multimedia applications enabled by its TD-LTE solution in
Shanghai, China. And in February this year, Ericsson achieved another milestone
by making the world's first TD-LTE voice call over its LTE/EPC network in
Barcelona, Spain.
In August of this year, Shenzhen will host the 26th Universiade, or World
University Games. According to the deployment schedule, the network will be
ready in time for athletes and visitors, together with the city's population of
more than 10 million, to enjoy the TD-LTE experience made possible by Ericsson.
