    ZTE Corporation, a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and networking solutions, announced on May 11, 2010 that ZTE Corporation and Innofidei have jointly delivered a significant breakthrough for the Time Division Long Term Evolution (TD-LTE) industry with the industry’s first successful Inter-Operability Test(IOT)?of multiple TD-LTE USB dongles in a single mobile network cell. The successful test was first performed in Hong Kong, and subsequently in Shanghai during the opening days of Shanghai World Expo. Using the ZTE TD-LTE Shanghai field network, a number of TD-LTE USB dongles provided by Innofidei accessed the field TD-LTE cell simultaneously to provide a number of diversified services including streaming and FTP services, among others.


    Innofidei Inc., China’s largest mobile TV chip maker, has been actively promoting the development of the TD-LTE industry and in 2007 began its TD-LTE baseband project in partnership with the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company Limited (ASTRI). In recognition of its industry leadership, Innofidei won the bid to provide 4G TD-LTE data cards as part of the Shanghai World Expo TD-LTE terminal project in early 2010. In April this year, Innofidei and ASTRI released the first TD-LTE baseband chip for the 20MHz TD-LTE bandwidth, which is also in use at Shanghai World Expo.


    ZTE Corporation has been leading the Time Division Duplex (TDD) industry through strong innovation and product development capability, and continues to invest in the industry to maintain this lead. ZTE Corporation is the first Chinese telecoms equipment provider to pass TD-LTE indoor phase I test, field test and indoor phase II test organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China (MIIT) and China Mobile. ZTE Corporation has deployed five commercial LTE networks to date, and more than 40 trial LTE networks with operators throughout Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East.
