China Mobile Hong Kong Company has tapped Huawei for setting up a LTE-Advanced Pro network.
As part of the deal, China Mobile Hong Kong will leverage Huawei’s network technology for upgrading its existing TD-LTE / LTE FDD converged network to a 4.5G network. Investment in 4.5G network is expected to pave way for 5G technology.
In October 2015, 3GPP named LTE-Advanced Pro as the new LTE standard, which is also the official name of 4.5G.
China Mobile Hong Kong has kicked off its 4.5G network roadmap by employing Huawei’s 4.5G technology and network solution for offering better user experience, as well as advancing towards the 5G technology evolution.
“We are upgrading our 4G mobile network to 4.5G for significant network capacity optimization and speed improvement, as well as achieving superior user experience for consumers and commercial customers,” said Sean Lee, director and chief executive officer of China Mobile Hong Kong.
