30 June, 2017
Shanghai - Nokia is to supply a LTE network in the
700 megahertz spectrum band to the Shanghai
Oriental Pearl Group, a diversified broadcasting,
media, manufacturing and real estate company. The
deployment will transform Shanghai's fast-growing
former industrial district of Hongkou through a range
of new smart city services, for which Nokia will
supply advanced wireless communications based on
FDD-LTE technology for smart city and public safety
applications. Nokia Shanghai Bell, Nokia's JV
company in China will provide the deployment and
services.
The LTE network is being deployed to provide
broadband connectivity for city services, specifically
high-speed wireless links to video from cameras
used for traffic control, video monitoring and
analysis, and additional services in future. The
network is based on Nokia's FDD-LTE solution and
offers the data capacity needed to support a variety
of bandwidth-intensive video formats, including
high-definition and ultra-high definition 4K, 3D and
more. This deployment marks Nokia's first for LTE
technology in the 700 MHz spectrum band in China.
In addition to network infrastructure, Nokia Shanghai
Bell's global services team will provide services
including systems integration, network planning and
implementation.
The project builds on Nokia's strong track-record
supporting smart city initiatives worldwide. It also
highlights the progress of Nokia's strategy of
expanding its customer activities outside of the
traditional telecommunications sphere, a key focus
of the company.
Ding Yong, General Manager of Oriental Pearl Digital
TV, said: "Nokia has been an excellent partner for
these new smart city initiatives. Their LTE 700 MHz
technology performed extremely well in testing and
the strong local support from Nokia Shanghai Bell
has been very beneficial as well. We look forward to
our continued close cooperation to bring smart city
services to the people of Shanghai.
Jin Jian, head of Enterprise & Public Sector at Nokia
Shanghai Bell, said: "This collaboration with
Shanghai Oriental Pearl Group is an important first
step in efforts to bring smarter services to China's
largest city and critical business and innovation
hub. As a leading provider of wireless connectivity
solutions, Nokia is honored to play a key role in
such an important project."
Key facts:
LTE currently serves more than two billion
subscribers globally today and is expected to
reach 75% of the world's population by 2020.
Low frequency bands, such as the 700MHz, allow
for excellent coverage with a reduced number of
base stations.
With technology enhancements, LTE not only
serves mobile broadband users but also delivers
efficient and reliable connectivity for the Internet
of Things and critical applications needed for
public safety networks.
