Alcatel-Lucent and China Mobile have signed a contract to deliver high-speed mobile broadband to subscribers in China by deploying TD-LTE network in the city of Shanghai.
Alcatel-Lucent’s 4G LTE offering in Shanghai is a large-scale TD-LTE trial formed by the China Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and China Mobile, covering six major cities in China.
Under the agreement, Alcatel-Lucent will deliver network to the subscribers in the central business and education/technology districts of Shanghai.
The network includes the high-tech park of Zhangjiang and financial district of Lujiazui, which China Mobile and the Shanghai government want to make a demonstration zone of TD-LTE technology.
Alcatel-Lucent Asia-Pacific president Rajeev Singh-Molares said they are excited to be able to collaborate with China Mobile and demonstrate their leadership in TD-LTE on this important trial network.
"The first call takes us a step closer in delivering a high-quality network that will provide faster wireless services and applications to the people of Shanghai," Singh-Molares said.
