Motorola has completed the Phase I TD-LTE field trials with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). This over-the-air (OTA) TD-LTE trial included key functionality, performance and mobility test cases in a multi-sector, multi-site environment that lays a solid foundation for large scale TD-LTE deployment.
Motorola noted the following achievements for the trial:
- High performance with downlink throughput up to 80 Mbps
- Successful demonstration of key TD-LTE features including mobility and handover with live applications, low latency and more
- Utilization of third-party user equipment (UE) test to guarantee standard compliance
- TD-LTE trial sites overlaid on existing 2G/3G sites
Motorola is now ready to begin Phase II TD-LTE field trials with increased focus on applications and quality of service (QoS) in Shunyi, Beijing.
The milestone follows the recently announced TD-LTE key functionalities test initiated by the TD-LTE working group, which was set up by MIIT in June 2009 with China’s three telecom operators and other key industry partners.
In addition, Motorola said it is demonstrating end-to-end TD-LTE experiences at the Information and Communication Pavilion to support China Mobile Communications Corporation’s (CMCC) presence at the Shanghai Expo.
