Alcatel-Lucent has announced that it has been selected by China Mobile to deploy a TD-LTE trial network at the occasion of the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai (May 1 to Oct 31, 2010).

The deployment will be the first in the world and follows Alcatel-Lucent’s first TD-LTE call on a third party terminal achieved earlier this year. The agreement was signed through Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell, Alcatel-Lucent’s Chinese flagship company.

Alcatel-Lucent‘s TD-LTE platform will provide indoor coverage for 2 pavilions of World Expo 2010, namely the Theme pavilion and the Africa pavilion.

Visitors will be able to enjoy advanced mobile services including ultra high speed internet access and HDTV at the exposition. Expected to have 200 participants and 70 million visitors, World Expo 2010 will open on May 1st next year.

“China Mobile’s selection of our TD-LTE solution for this historical event further confirms that Alcatel-Lucent is playing a leading role in the evolution of 3G to 4G and that we are ready to help worldwide operators to take advantage of this technology,” said Olivia Qiu, President of Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell and head of Alcatel-Lucent in East Asia.

LTE is the next evolution in mobile network standards defined by 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) and supports operations in both the paired spectrum and unpaired spectrum. Alcatel-Lucent is a pioneer in the LTE market.

It is able to provide common platform for both TDD and FDD spectrum, which creates a truly global ecosystem, and enables all operators to take advantage of a common system and unrivalled economies of scale as they look to provide 4G wireless broadband services to their subscribers.

In February 2009, Alcatel-Lucent announced that it has completed the first data calls – involving terminals from third-party suppliers – using TD-LTE technology, demonstrating Alcatel-Lucent’s commitment to supporting a smooth evolution path to 4G for all service providers.
