Nokia Networks signs TD-LTE-Advanced deal with China Mobile

NEW DELHI: Finnish telecom gear maker Nokia Networks said that it has signed a deal with China Mobile to provide its latest TD-LTE-Advanced technology.

The world's biggest mobile operator plans to deploy one million TD-LTE base stations by the end of 2015, with Nokia Networks being the largest non-Chinese vendor.

The new deal marks the third phase of an ongoing TD-LTE deployment with China Mobile and another milestone in the successful co-operation between the two companies.

Nokia Networks' services expertise and experience from past global achievements will ensure the rapid and smooth execution of China Mobile's comprehensive TD-LTE rollout project.

"This new TD-LTE-Advanced deal is a big achievement that makes us the number one non-Chinese network vendor in China for the third year in a row. We are proud to support China Mobile with this network expansion project, further building on over 20 years of partnership,” said Mike Wang, President of Greater China, Nokia Networks.
