Mobile broadband equipment vendor Nokia Siemens Networks has joined the Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI) Partner Forum. GTI advocates and promotes 4G mobile broadband using TD-LTE technology.
As a member, Nokia Siemens Networks will engage with operators and other GTI members in steering the TD-LTE ecosystem.
Nokia Siemens has seven commercial TD-LTE deals around the world, in Asia, Middle East, South America and Europe.
"As more and more users demand high-speed connectivity to their favorite apps on-the-go, TD-LTE is gaining momentum as an efficient technology for superior mobile broadband. As one of the companies at the forefront of TD-LTE, Nokia Siemens Networks has always worked closely alongside the GTI. The company's membership further reiterates its commitment to TD-LTE as a major, global 4G mobile broadband standard," said Craig Ehrlich, chairman of GTI steering committee.GTI technical taskforces address various issues of TD-LTE commercialization and deployment. This work includes network planning, voice solutions for TD-LTE handsets, co-existence of TDD and FDD, and multi-antenna solutions.
"We have significantly invested in advancing TD-LTE so operators can reap the benefits of delivering mobile broadband using unpaired spectrum. We have been major contributors to numerous initiatives at the GTI, and are excited about how we can provide further expertise going forward," said Tommi Uitto, head of the LTE business line at Nokia Siemens Networks.
