CHINESE MOBILE CARRIER LAUNCHES 4GTDD-LTE NETWORK WITH VSS MONITORING

“In the past few years, the growth of mobile broadband traffic has imposed increasingly heavy demands on our 2G/3G network,” a network architect for the carrier said. It particularly affected the E1-based backhaul and core network. As a result, the network team looked to 4G for the solution. But they took it a step further and pioneered a variation of LTE, Time-Division LTE (TD-LTE), which is gaining momentum outside of China as well. They staged large-scale trials in six cities and began the process of building out a new 4G infrastructure.
