Shanghai - Nokia is to supply a LTE network in the 700 megahertz spectrum band
to the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Group, a diversified broadcasting, media,
manufacturing and real estate company. The deployment will transform Shanghai's

city services, for which Nokia will supply advanced wireless communications
based on FDD-LTE technology for smart city and public safety applications.
Nokia Shanghai Bell, Nokia's JV company in China will provide the deployment and
services.
The LTE network is being deployed to provide broadband connectivity for city
services, specifically high-speed wireless links to video from cameras used for
traffic control, video monitoring and analysis, and additional services in
future. The network is based on Nokia's FDD-LTE solution and offers the data
capacity needed to support a variety of bandwidth-intensive video formats,
including high-definition and ultra-high definition 4K, 3D and more. This
deployment marks Nokia's first for LTE technology in the 700 MHz spectrum band
in China.
In addition to network infrastructure, Nokia Shanghai Bell's global services
team will provide services including systems integration, network planning and
implementation.
The project builds on Nokia's strong track-record supporting smart city
initiatives worldwide. It also highlights the progress of Nokia's strategy of
expanding its customer activities outside of the traditional telecommunications
sphere, a key focus of the company.
Ding Yong, General Manager of Oriental Pearl Digital TV, said: "Nokia has been
an excellent partner for these new smart city initiatives. Their LTE 700 MHz
technology performed extremely well in testing and the strong local support from
Nokia Shanghai Bell has been very beneficial as well. We look forward to our
continued close cooperation to bring smart city services to the people of
Shanghai.
Jin Jian, head of Enterprise & Public Sector at Nokia Shanghai Bell, said: "This
collaboration with Shanghai Oriental Pearl Group is an important first step in
efforts to bring smarter services to China's largest city and critical business
and innovation hub. As a leading provider of wireless connectivity solutions,
