China Mobile's TD-LTE Attracts Overseas Carriers

Sohu IT, 5/18/10

At the press conference for the commemoration of 2010 World Telecommunications Day in Shanghai yesterday, China Mobile (NYSE: CHL; 0941.HK) president Wang Jianzhou said that TD-LTE will attract three kinds of operators: PHS operators, WiMAX operators, and asymmetric frequency band operators.

Japan's third largest wireless operator Softbank recently announced it would deploy a next-generation PHS network utilizing China Mobile's TD-LTE technology, US-based WiMAX operator Clearwire and Motorola's Yota WiMAX network announced in March they will employ LTE technology, and operators using asymmetric frequency band networks, employed by numerous companies in Europe, can also use TD-LTE technology.

Wang Xiaoyun, deputy director of the China Mobile Research Institute, also revealed yesterday at the Shanghai 2010 World Expo's TD International Development Summit that ten TDD-licensed overseas mobile operators have been in discussion with China Mobile about building TD-LTE trial networks. Eight operators around the world will deploy trial TD-LTE networks this year.
