Nokia Siemens Networks has proven its leading role in advancing TD-LTE as it met the complete TD-LTE test specifications defined by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). The successful completion of the trial in the 2.3GHz band at the MIIT lab in Beijing, China, marks an important milestone in the commercialization of TD-LTE. After the test, Nokia Siemens Networks also achieved the world's first highdefinition TD-LTE video call, including handover, with a Samsung TD-LTE device.
The highdefinition video call demo showcased interoperability between Nokia Siemens Networks' LTE infrastructure and Samsung's TD-LTE USB dongle, and marks a definitive step toward ensuring early availability of a functioning TD-LTE ecosystem for commercial deployments.
"We've achieved excellent results from this test and are happy to partner with Nokia Siemens Networks in driving the TD-LTE ecosystem further," said Mr. Tong Wang, president of Beijing Samsung Telecom R&D Center. "Commercial readiness of devices is a key indicator for the success of a new technology and the current test results show that we are now well prepared for TD-LTE."
"Meeting TD-LTE test specifications defined by MIIT and achieving the first highdefinition video call with handover, are key milestones in our list of achievements, added Paul Pan, head of Network Systems, Greater China Region, Nokia Siemens Networks. "We will continue to collaborate with partners to accelerate our progress toward a comprehensive deployment of TD-LTE."
Nokia Siemens Networks is at the forefront of TD-LTE development and commercialization, actively working with telecom operators and device manufacturers. The company recently announced the first TD-LTE interoperability data call with a prototype TD-LTE USB dongle from Samsung and the first TD-LTE video call between Shanghai and Taipei.
