China Mobile advances global TD-LTE network   

中国移动TD-LTE有望全球落地 多国明确部署计划

2G起步时代，中国通信设备全部购自国外，“七国八制”充斥机房；3G时代，中国上马自主创新的TD-SCDMA，但终未走出国门；4G时代，中国主导的TD-LTE有望全球开花。

Beijing (CNS) -- China's biggest telecom provider China Mobile says it has taken further steps to create a global TD-LTE mobile network.

By June 2012, we had established TD-LTE mobile networks in nine countries, including Japan, Brazil and Sweden, China Mobile's vice general manager Li Zhengmao said Wednesday.

In 2011, China Mobile cooperated with telecom operators in six countries to establish the Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI), which now has 48 international telecom operators as members.

The company plans to construct half a million base stations across the world by 2014 and cover a population of two billion, said Li.
