One side of zte vice President WangShouChen also said “Japan’s third largest operators in one of this year’s softbank on October 1, the commercial operation of TD-LTE, it is the world’s first large-scale TD-LTE operators; and yellow will be released this to TD-LTE FangHao”.

More make TD news of the industry excited and spread. LiZhengMao said, at present, the world has built more than 30 TD-LTE test nets, Japan, India, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Australia and other countries of more than 10 operators have definite TD-LTE commercial plan and section begins a commercial network construction.

“More and more WiMAX operators are actively seeking to TD-LTE transition. TD-LTE to become world has truly mobile broadband technology standard. One of more and more of the international operators joined TD-LTE camp, in the global creating unprecedented TDD will the wide application of”, LiZhengMao so said.

Expected to 2013 4 G technology to cover the world population 39%, to 2015 of 50%. He thinks industry growth will soon, believe now is undervalued, and expected future revenue mainly comes from data fee, growth will be higher.
