ZTE completed an interoperability test (IOT) between TD-LTE terminals and GSM/UMTS/CDMA EV-DO networks.
This is the first IOT between a multi-mode TD-LTE terminal and non TD-LTE networks.
ZTE said the success of the test is significant for the entire TD-LTE ecosystem, proving that TD-LTE devices can work seamlessly with existing GSM, UMTS and CDMA EV-DO networks as well as with new LTE FDD and TD-LTE networks. It is expected to promote the convergence of TD-LTE and existing networks, and speed up TD-LTE network deployments.
"The test shows that devices for TD-LTE networks are close to market availability, and that ZTE's extensive TD-LTE expertise ensures that our existing 2G and 3G networks are able to handle traffic from TD devices," said Mr. Wang Shouchen, general manager of ZTE TD products.
