Huawei Demonstrates World's First Handoff Tests Between TD-LTE Base Stations

Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. ("Huawei"), a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, announced that the company was selected by the Next Generation Mobile Network Congress to provide the new end-to-end TD-LTE/SAE solution for field tests at its conference held in Beijing on May 11-12, 2009. World leading operators including Vodafone, NTT DoCoMo, AT&T, China Mobile, TI and TeliaSonera participated in the conference and jointly discussed the development of future networks.

As the sole provider of the network for testing, Huawei conducted a live demonstration of the world's first handoff tests between TD-LTE base stations with a 100-percent success rate. These field tests demonstrated the ability of Huawei's network to successfully deliver the handoff or handover technology that facilitates phone calls between different technologies. The completion of the test marks a major forward step in the evolution of TD-LTE technology.

"Due to the rich resources in the TDD spectrum, the application of TD-LTE is currently of great interest to operators both in China and beyond. We are very confident about the future of TD-LTE which is one of the major next-generation mobile broadband platforms." said Wan Biao, President of Huawei Wireless Product Line. "Huawei is committed to promoting the development of LTE through its proven expertise and extensive global application experience."

Huawei also showcased the world's first multi-user access and multi-cell handoff tests based on a TD-LTE network at the event. Different terminals were used to simultaneously demonstrate the services based on TD-LTE, such as VOD, video phone and VOIP.

Huawei has been researching LTE technology since 2004 and, in December 2008, was awarded with the world's first LTE commercial contract, with Teliasonera. By the end of March 2009, Huawei had submitted more than 2,500 LTE/SAE applications and has contributed 20 percent of all the patents in LTE field.
