First complete TD-LTE solution showcased
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* TD-LTE solution with complete end-to-end capabilities demonstrated for the
first time
* Demonstration performed with a device with ST-Ericsson's TD-LTE chipset
LTE, the next generation of mobile broadband technology, includes two versions:
one for paired spectrum, frequency division duplex (FDD); and one for unpaired
spectrum, time division duplex (TDD) - or Ericsson's TD-LTE. Widespread global
deployment of TD-LTE is expected in the coming years.
At a China Mobile event in Shanghai, China today, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC)
showcased its complete end-to-end TD-LTE solution for the first time. Together
with ST-Ericsson devices, the system successfully showcased super-fast mobile
broadband applications such as video on demand (VOD) and video streaming using a
live camera.
It has previously been verified that the Ericsson TD-LTE solution has achieved a
single user peak rate of 110Mbps in the downlink.
The demonstration today was performed with a USB dongle with a TD-LTE chipset
from ST-Ericsson. Ericsson has successfully executed TD-LTE interoperability
testing (IOT) with ST-Ericsson, and testing with two other chipset/terminal
vendors is expected to be finalized soon.
Ericsson has introduced a new base station as part of its TD-LTE offering. Based
on the latest multi-standard base station, RBS 6000, the TD-LTE base station
offers a highly integrated solution with minimal dimensions and low energy
consumption that is fit for every implementation scenario. In addition, the
innovation is capable of supporting LTE Advanced technology, promising operators
a smooth migration plan.
Mats H Olsson, President of Ericsson China & North East Asia says: "The
successful demonstration today reflects not only Ericsson's undisputed
technology leadership in the LTE domain, but also our unwavering commitment to
the development of TD-LTE in China and elsewhere in the world. We will make
every effort to support China Mobile in bringing revolutionary mobile broadband
experiences to tens of millions of Chinese consumers in the near future."
ST-Ericsson, a leader in wireless platforms and semiconductors, was the first in
the world to demonstrate a handheld LTE device and to achieve LTE and HSPA
mobility with a multimode device. Available next year, ST-Ericsson's next
generation modem will support both versions of LTE, in addition to TD-SCDMA and
HSPA+/EDGE. With ST-Ericsson's products, Ericsson is now the only player with
complete end-to-end TD-LTE capabilities in the industry.
"Drawing on six years of LTE research and development, today's demonstration
underlines ST-Ericsson's position as a frontrunner in the rollout of the
next-generation of mobile broadband platforms," said Magnus Hansson, Senior Vice
President and head of LTE and 3G Modem Solutions at ST-Ericsson. "Through our
cooperation with China Mobile and Ericsson, devices based on our chipsets will
soon enable people to enjoy the many benefits of super-fast mobile broadband.
