ZTE is First to Pass Third-Party UE TD-LTE Test

ZTE Corporation announced on May 13, 2009 that it is the first company to successfully complete and pass the TD-LTE Phase I test together with key industry players including China Mobile, Vodafone and the Ministry of Industry and Information of China on April 15, 2009. The TD-LTE test measures high bandwidth network capacity.

  The results of ZTE’s TD-LTE Phase I test indicated that the downlink sector reached the theoretical peak rate of 39 Mb/s with a 10 M bandwidth, at the same time, ZTE became the first company in the industry to realize 20 M bandwidth support. In the trials, ZTE adopted third party test UE and the downlink peak rate attained TM500’s upper limit of 61.228 Mb/s. Upgradable through terminal, the system is designed to support a downlink rate of up to 82.3 Mb/s in the future.

  This TD-LTE test also makes ZTE the first company to complete a performance test under a 350 Km/h high-speed mobile channel model, reaching the best theoretical value. In fact, in May 2009, ZTE ws the first industry vendor to pass China Mobile Institute’s  GSM/TD-SCDMA/TD-LTE joint platform test further underlining its leading edge in the
TD-LTE area.

 
  As one of the leading advocates of the TD industry chain, ZTE has a taskforce of over 3,200 TD R&D engineers with more than 900 devoted to TD-LTE. The Company has submitted more than 400 LTE papers to the 3GPP Conference to further propel and inspire industry development. Through continuous and extensive investments in R&D and manpower, ZTE has been at the forefront of LTE fully demonstrating its leadership in both LTE and TD-LTE.
