A Time-Division Duplex version of the Long-Term Evolution wireless standard (TD-LTE) demonstrated here by Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) used India’s broadband wireless spectrum. The demonstration used 4G mobile technology running on commercial hardware in the 2.3-GHz frequency band across 20 MHz of bandwidth.
NSN executives claimed a milestone in moving 2.3-GHz TD-LTE closer to commercial availability. NSN also demonstrated high-definition video streaming and three-way video conferencing.
“The demonstration is an important milestone in building the TD-LTE ecosystem in India,” Urs Pennanen, who heads NSN’s India operations, said in a statement. “TD-LTE over the broadband wireless access spectrum is important for the country, as it will allow operators to offer voice and data to the masses.”
“India will have a key role in driving globalization of TD-LTE for paired and unpaired frequency bands, and we believe India will be a major TD-LTE player,” added Juha Lappalainen, head of NSN mobile sales.
Eleven companies participated in India’s wireless auctions in June, which fetched about $8.5 billion. The TD-LTE demonstration targeted the winning bidders.
