Telecommunications equipment major Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) demonstrated for the first time its Time Division Duplex version of LTE (TD-LTE) technology in India on Tuesday in Bangalore. The technology, running on broadband wireless access (BWA) spectrum, for which licences were issued recently, will herald the fourth generation (4G) of technology in the wireless communications space, said top officials of the company.
Urs Pennanen, Head, India Region, NSN, said the network's capability of handling throughputs of up to 110 mbps augured well for the rapid deployment of high-speed wireless broadband in the country. “The key to rapid deployment is in operators providing much higher speed data transmission without increasing prices too much,” Mr. Pennanen said.
“The capability of the 4G networks go beyond those of 3G, ensure better user experience and better spectral efficiency, all of which are important because users need to handle more data,” Mr. Pennanen said. He said the TD-LTE technology had been deployed by 17 operators across the world and several more are in the process of going on that platform. He said NSN's acquisition of Motorola's Wimax assets would result in NSN being in a position to “offer even more solutions to operators.”
