LTE accelerates global expansion: 222 commercial networks have been built

NetEase technology News November 15, the GSA (Global Mobile Equipment Suppliers Association) Chairman Alan Hadden today at the LTE Global Ecosystem Development Seminar, as of October 2013, LTE has achieved more than 126 million global connectivity, and 83 countries have deployed 222 LTE commercial networks, and LTE's global expansion has been accelerating. At the same time, according to third party data, there are currently about 23 LTE TDD networks worldwide, and another 60 LTE TDD networks are being built or deployed. It is noteworthy that 11 of the 23 LTE TDD networks are launched by operators who have already deployed LTE FDD. This includes China Mobile Hong Kong, Japan Soft silver, Russia mts and so on. In the context of the expansion of LTE's global layout, the cooperative development pattern of LTE FDD/TDD network is becoming clearer. "The rapid growth of smartphones and the surge in data traffic driven by video drives 4G LTE technology to accelerate worldwide popularity." "Alan Hadden points out that because LTE is a global standard, LTE FDD and TDD network deployment and user terminal Manufacturing can greatly benefit from LTE's global economies of scale." From the entire industrial ecology of LTE, At&t, Verizon, NTT DoCoMo, KDDI and SoftBank, Skt and other operators have been with chip suppliers, equipment manufacturers and mobile phone manufacturers, such as Qualcomm, Huawei, ZTE, Ericsson, Sony, Samsung has built a more complete ecosystem based on LTE networks. In various parts of LTE, a growing number of vendors are joining the LTE industry, with more than 17 chip companies worldwide already developing LTE terminal chips, including LTE TDD as an important part of their LTE chip development. Under the LTE ecosystem, the development of LTE FDD/TDD has an industrial base. In networking, the frontier operators have already opened the current network deployment of the LTE FDD/TDD hybrid network; At the terminal level, Qualcomm-represented chip companies have announced over the years that their LTE chipsets support both FDD and TDD, and according to statistics, nearly hundreds terminals worldwide support LTE FDD and TDD, To support the carrier's own network needs and global roaming needs.
