Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN) has announced that it has been selected by China Mobile (CMCC) to implement a significant share of its TD-LTE network, the world’s largest. This reaffirms NSN’s long-standing commitment to the development of TD-LTE in China.
NSN’s share in the operator’s TD-LTE network rollout highlights its position as a leading non-Chinese vendor in the highly competitive Chinese market. The company is awarded 11% market share consistent with other non-Chinese vendors, with another low single-digit share as a result of selling through resellers also selected by CMCC. NSN secured an entry into six new provinces compared to its TD-SCDMA footprint in China.
Markus Borchert, President, NSN Greater China, said, We are truly delighted to work with China Mobile on the world’s largest TD-LTE rollout. Our strong LTE market momentum, 15 years’ pioneering of TD technology, proven network deployment capability and long-standing presence in China clearly contributed to the operator's decision. We have the right capabilities, commitment and scale for this huge project.
Under the contract, NSN will deploy key radio network elements for China Mobile’s 1.9 GHz, 2.6 GHz and 2.3 GHz frequency bands, including its innovative Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Stations.
The solution will cover new single-mode implementation of the TD-LTE network. In addition, NSN will deploy part of the network in TD-SCDMA / TD-LTE dual mode, supporting TD-SCDMA site software upgrade to the dual mode implementation.
