ZTE, China Mobile Hong Kong to construct LTE-TDD network

ZTE has won a contract with China Mobile Hong Kong (CMHK) to construct a LTE-TDD network in Hong Kong. ZTE will provide LTE-TDD solutions to CMHK, including SDR BTS, terminals, network planning, integration and network optimization.

CMHK received its Hong Kong LTE-TDD license in February 2012 for the 2330MHz-2360MHz of 30MHz frequencies. At the 2012 GTI Asia Conference in Shanghai, CMHK announced that it will provide LTE-TDD and LTE-FDD services based on its dual-mode LTE-TDD/FDD network by end of this year. CMHK had previously launched its LTE-FDD network in Hong Kong in April 2012.

Sean Lee, director and CEO of China Mobile Hong Kong said “We are excited to work with the company to construct the LTE-TDD/FDD dual-mode network in Hong Kong.”

ZTE Vice President and CTO of the APAC and CIS Regions, Zhang Jianguo, said, “Hong Kong has one of the world's most advanced and competitive mobile communications markets. There are already four LTE networks in the territory. ZTE is honored to have the opportunity construct a central network there.”
