11 May, 2010, Shenzhen, China -ZTE Corporation (“ZTE” - H share stock code: 00763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and networking solutions, today announced ZTE and Innofidei have jointly delivered a significant breakthrough for the Time Division Long Term Evolution(TD-LTE) industry with the industry’s first successful Inter-Operability test（IOT) of multiple TD-LTE USB dongles in a single mobile network cell. The successful test was first performed in Hong Kong, and subsequently in Shanghai during the opening days of Shanghai World Expo. Using the ZTE TD-LTE Shanghai field network, a number of TD-LTE USB dongles provided by Innofidei accessed the field TD-LTE cell simultaneously to provide a number of diversified services including streaming and FTP services, among others.
Mr. Zhao Xianming, ZTE SVP, said, “This is the first time in the TD-LTE industry that a multiple USB dongle field IOT test has been successful, and this achievement will greatly accelerate the industrialisation of TD-LTE. It demonstrates that ZTE and Innofidei are moving steadily towards the development of a comprehensive commercialised application of TD-LTE."
Innofidei Inc., China's largest mobile TV chip maker, has been actively promoting the development of the TD-LTE industry and in 2007 began its TD-LTE baseband project in partnership with the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company Limited (ASTRI). In recognition of its industry leadership, Innofidei won the bid to provide 4G TD-LTE data cards as part of the Shanghai World Expo TD-LTE terminal project in early 2010. In April this year, Innofidei and ASTRI released the first TD-LTE baseband chip for the 20MHz TD-LTE bandwidth, which is also in use at Shanghai World Expo.
ASTRI is collaborating with a number of companies, such as ZTE, Agilent, and PicoChip to provide world-class innovation and technology based on LTE. In February 2009, ASTRI, Innofidei, China Mobile and TDIA (TD Industry Alliance) drew global attention at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) for their demonstration of high-definition video with TD-LTE. In September 2009, ASTRI and ZTE completed the TD-LTE industry’s first inter-vendor IOT.
ZTE has been leading the Time Division Duplex (TDD) industry through strong innovation and product development capability, and continues to invest in the industry to maintain this lead. ZTE is the first Chinese telecoms equipment provider to pass TD-LTE indoor phase I test, field test and indoor phase II test organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China (MIIT) and China Mobile. ZTE has deployed five commercial LTE networks to date, and more than 40 trial LTE networks with operators throughout Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East.
ZTE is playing an active role in the Shanghai World Expo TD-LTE demo network in cooperation with China Mobile. ZTE TD-LTE sites have been deployed in the News Center, providing high-speed wireless data services for journalists.
