SHENZHEN, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”) (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ) and 3 Sweden today run a live interactive video demonstration using TD-LTE technology at Mobile World Congress 2012.
The ZTE booth in Hall 8 at the Barcelona is connected with a 3 Sweden store in Stockholm. Actors on each side play a game called Lucky Roll, with prizes for game winners.
3 Sweden and ZTE announced in December 2011 the world's first LTE FDD / TD-LTE dual-mode commercial network which is now in commercial use in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö in Sweden. These Nordic cities are the first in the world to see these green dual-model base stations.
As a major operator in Sweden, 3 Sweden is committed to upgrading the network to provide a higher speed and more extensive services, which users can enjoy even when on the move. To achieve this goal, 3 Sweden signed an LTE network commercial contract with ZTE in March 2011.
Users of this network can enjoy an extensive new range of services delivered over the world's first dual-mode 4G network, and can roam to other LTE networks all over the world.
For 3 Sweden this has also been an opportunity to evolve its network. The operator has significantly reduced TCO by adopting a new generation of energy-saving ZTE base stations that can easily be upgraded to future generations of high speed mobile technology.
As 3 Sweden improves its competitiveness, more and more affordable and easy-to-use services will be available to subscribers.
”We expect that other European operators will sit up and take notice of what this dual-mode network can deliver,” said Jörgen Askeroth, CTO of 3 Sweden. “This network fully indicates the practical use of the mature LTE multi-mode convergent solution. It allows us to extend the partnership with ZTE”.
