During the demonstration, the system achieved downstream peak speed of over 1Gbps, enabling participants to become the first to experience the blazing fast speeds offered by fourth generation wireless communications technologies. ZTE also unvealed plans to introduce commercial LTE-A products in 2012, to meet the growing need for high-speed data communication.
ZTE's LTE-A prototypes incorporate a number of key technologies such as carrier aggregation, multi-antenna enhancement, relay technology, and multi-point joint transmission. Through the use of CoMP (Coordinated Multipoint Transmission) technology in the solution, throughput on the edge is dramatically increased.
In recent years, ZTE has accumulated technologies in the LTE-related core areas. For example, in the research of standards, as of November 30, 2010, ZTE had holds 235 ETSI essential patents (EPs), accounting for 7% of the total number of EPs for LTE that had already been declared, showing that ZTE has entered the "Tier-1 Camp" in terms of EPs for the 4G standards. To date, ZTE has contributed about 550 proposals to the 3GPP RAN Working Group in the LTE-A field.
