ZTEExclusively Demonstrates LTE-A Co MP-Based Services at Mobile World Congress 2011

ZTECorporation demonstrated video call,video streaming,and ftp services based on LTE-A Coordinated Multipoint(CoMP)technology at“Mobile World Congress 2011”in Barcelona,Spain.This makes ZTEthe first and only telecoms vendor in the world to demonstrate LTE-A CoMP-based services.

During the demonstration,the system achieved downstream peak speed of over 1 Gbit/s,and participants were the first to experience the lightning fast speeds of fourth generation wireless technologies.ZTE also announced plans to introduce commercial LTE-A products in 2012 in order to meet the growing need for high-speed data communication.

ZTE's LTE-A CoMPprototype incorporates a number of key technologies including multiantenna enhancement,MU-MIMO,and multipoint joint coordinated transmission.By using CoMPtechnology,throughput at the edge is dramatically increased.

In recent years,ZTEhas accumulated technologies in core LTEareas.As of November 30,2010,ZTEheld 235 ETSIEssential Patents(EPs),accounting for 7%of the total number of EPs for LTEthat had already been declared.This shows that the corpoartion is a first tier holder of EPs for 4G standards.To date,ZTEhas contributed about 550 proposals to the 3GPPRAN Working Group in LTE-A.
