Nokia Networks lead as non-Chinese 4G network vendor
Mumbai, June 30 (IBNS): Nokia Networks on Monday said it has strengthened its position as the top non-Chinese vendor in the second phase of a significant TD-LTE tender with wireless operator, China Mobile.
Nokia Networks is the only non-Chinese vendor to win a double-digit unit share. With this contract, Nokia Networks further expands its 4G footprint in China to cover 18 out of 31 provinces, including mega cities and provinces such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, and builds on over 20 years of successful cooperation between the two companies, the company said in a statement.
Nokia Networks also supported China Mobile Shanghai as the sole supplier at a globally-renowned motor race in Shanghai to provide seamless TD-LTE coverage for more than 250,000 spectators. This was the world’s first live TD-LTE network implemented for an event of this scale.
“We are proud to be the only non-Chinese partner to be awarded a double-digit share by China Mobile, which strengthens our position as one of the top 3 partners for China Mobile in TD-LTE, “ said Markus Borchert, President of the Greater China region at Nokia Networks.
“This award is an important recognition to us for our technological strength and long-standing commitment to the global success of TD-LTE. Nokia Networks supplies 46 commercial TD-LTE radio networks globally, about half of all commercial TD-LTE networks around the world. We will continue to innovate together with China Mobile and deliver industry-leading solutions, performance and quality, and contribute to the globalization of TD-LTE," Borchert said.
The contract covers Nokia’s indoor and outdoor base stations from the Flexi* product family as well as its cloud-enabled NetAct network management system. Nokia Networks will support China Mobile across the 1.9 GHz, 2.6 GHz and 2.3 GHz frequency bands in both single mode TD-LTE and TD-SCDMA / TD-LTE dual mode implementation. Network implementation, planning & optimization, care and training services are included in the agreement to ensure seamless operations.
