제네바--(뉴스와이어)--ST-Ericsson, a world leader in wireless platforms and semiconductors, announced today it will cooperate with China Mobile on TD-LTE development and will support a demonstration of TD-LTE at Shanghai World EXPO in 2010.

ST-Ericsson will also actively participate on other TD-LTE projects organized by China Mobile, including trial and interoperability testing (IOT) with infrastructure vendors.

Bill Huang, General Manager of China Mobile Research Institute, said: “China Mobile and ST-Ericsson are co-operating very successfully on TD-SCDMA technology and we are happy to extend our partnership into the TD-LTE area and then multi-mode technologies in future. We share a common goal of creating a global LTE market encompassing both TDD and FDD technologies.”

“For more than five years, ST-Ericsson has been driving innovation in mobile broadband technology and services, through the development, and now the deployment, of LTE,” said Magnus Hansson, Senior Vice President and head of LTE and 3G Modem Solutions division at ST-Ericsson. “We will bring this experience and expertise to bear as we work with China Mobile to develop a platform for TD-LTE devices, which will bring this advanced technology, and the exciting services it will enable, a big step closer to commercial reality.”

Based on its flexible architecture and its already established leadership in TD-SCDMA, ST-Ericsson will evolve its modem portfolio during 2010 to support a variety of multi-mode solutions, now also including TD-LTE.
