Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell, a flagship company of Alcatel-Lucent in China, has been selected by China Mobile to deploy 4G TD-LTE trial network in China.

The TD-LTE trial network will help China Mobile to provide an array of high speed mobile broadband services to its subscribers such as high definition video, 3D gaming, FTP transmission and high speed Internet.

The network will cover six major Chinese cities including: Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Xiamen, and recently extended to Beijing.

Alcatel-Lucent Asia-Pacific president Rajeev Singh-Molares said the company is committed to provide China Mobile with the most advanced LTE offering for the world’s largest TD-LTE trial and to demonstrate the maturity and cost-effectiveness of their service for TD-LTE which is emerging as the 4G standard for TDD spectrum globally.

"The successful interoperability tests with terminal suppliers further demonstrate our commitment to create an open TD-LTE ecosystem that will participate in the broader global LTE value chain," Singh-Molares said.
