The World's First Mobile Hotspot Prototypes Supporting Five Modes
and Eleven Bands Debut at the 5th GTI Workshop in Dubai, UAE
HONG KONG, Oct. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The 5th GTI
Workshop jointly hosted by China Mobile (NYSE: CHL; HKEx: 941)
and Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI) took place in Dubai, the United
Arab Emirates from October 15th to
16th, 2012. More than 100 representatives from international
operators, international industrial organizations, system vendors
and terminal/chip/test instrument OEMs attended this workshop,
discussing key issues for commercialization of TD-LTE including
R&D of highly-integrated Multi-Mode
Multi-Band smart phones, convergence of LTE TDD/FDD, LTE
roaming framework, VoLTE,as well as the application of TD-LTE in
consumer electronics and the Things of Internet.
The workshop was highlighted by the release and demonstration of
work outcomes of GTI's Terminal Working Group. In the beginning of
2012, GTI has set its target to promote the industry to facilitate
highly-integrated Multi-Mode
Multi-Band terminal products. So far, GTI has preliminarily
clarified the demands for Multi-Mode
Multi-Band operation, finishing the draft of GTI White
Paper on Multi-Mode Multi-Band Terminal Requirements &
Realization Structure, GTI LTE Terminal General Technical
Requirements, and GTI Multi-Mode Multi-Band Mobile Hotspot
Terminal Technical Requirements. In addition, GTI has set up a
team composed of core operators, such as China Mobile, Clearwire,
SoftBank and KT, in an effort to assist chip OEMs partners
including Qualcomm and Huawei Hisilcon and radio frequency front
end OEMs, such as Avago, RFMD and Skyworks in developing
highly-integrated Multi-Mode
Multi-Band terminal products.
In particular, the world's first global roaming enabled
Multi-Mode Multi-Band mobile hotspot
prototypes supporting five modes (LTE TDD/LTE
FDD/TD-SCDMA/WCDMA/GSM) and eleven bands (Band
38/39/40/41/3/7/34/1/2/5/8) developed by Quanta and Gemtek were
exhibited at the workshop. Later, GTI will perform a testing on the
commercialization of the products.
Under GTI's effective promotion in the technical field,
substantial progresses have been made in the commercialization of
Multi-Mode Multi-Band TD-LTE terminals, global roaming and
convergence of LTE TDD/LTE FDD. The launch of the global roaming
enabled highly-integrated Multi-Mode
Multi-Band data terminal products is considered as a key
milestone toward the globalization of TD-LTE, laying a solid
foundation for the global deployment and application of TD-LTE and
realization of global roaming.
