Nokia and 3 Sweden (Hi3G Access) are to deploy Time
Division-Long Term Evolution (TD-LTE)-Advanced mobile broadband technology to
significantly enhance quality of service in Sweden, reports ITRealms.
As spectrum in traditional Frequency-division duplexing
(FDD) bands is scarce, 3 Sweden said it would take advantage of more available
spectrum in the 2600 MHz band 38 - currently used by only a few operators in
Western Europe - to deploy TD-LTE-Advanced technology.
This, ITRealms gathered allows them to immediately increase
bandwidth and speeds for customers, meeting the growing demand for mobile use
in the home.
Nokia will also complete the network deployment - which will
include Gothenburg, Sweden's second most populous city - in the first half of
2016.
Jörgen Askeroth, CTO
at 3 Sweden, said: "As one of Sweden's leading operators, we are
constantly looking at ways to enhance the overall quality of our mobile voice
and data services. In line with this vision, we are working with Nokia to tap
the potential of TD-LTE-A in order to deliver a truly memorable service
experience to our subscribers. In doing so, we are proud to launch one of
Western Europe's first TD-LTE-A deployments on band 38 - a development that
underlines our reputation as an innovation leader in the domestic
telecommunications market."
Wolfgang Hackenberg, VP West Europe at Nokia, said: "We
are extremely pleased to support 3 Sweden in its ambitious and far-reaching
TD-LTE-A initiative that will delight its customers. This project bears
testimony to our growing status as the supplier-of-choice in Europe, with a
clear focus on leveraging technologies that allow operators to provide the best
possible mobile broadband experience to their users."
