Tianjin 4G network to cover 75 sq. km by midyear, report


BEIJING, Feb 07, 2013 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- The Tianjin branch of China Mobile (CHL.NYSE; 00941.HK) is expected to complete a TD-LTE larger-scale pilot by the middle of this year and a total area of 75 square km will be covered by the network, according to C114.com.



As one of China Mobile's 13 cities to construct TD-LTE larger-scale pilot networks, Tianjin officially started to reform TD-LTE stations in 2012 and is building 1,253 TD-LTE base stations.

China Mobile started trial commercial operation of China's indigenous 4G TD-LTE network in Hangzhou and Wenzhou, Zhejiang province. It is the first time that China has launched a large-scale commercial operation of 4G and marks the beginning of China's ultra-high-speed mobile Internet era.
