Nokia plans to showcase its latest TD-LTE-Advanced (TD-LTE-A) and TD-LTE-Advanced Pro offerings at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai from June 29 through July 1. Nokia said that the TD-LTE technology will enable operators to efficiently leverage 4G networks to meet the ever-growing data demand and connect underserved areas of the world.

Claiming to be the industry-first to demonstrate these technologies, Nokia said that 4G TD-LTE operators can leverage existing Wi-Fi® access points to deliver the highest quality of experience for subscribers with compatible devices. Using a TD-LTE-A Pro LTE-Wi-Fi Aggregation (LWA) feature on the Nokia Flexi Multiradio 10 Base stations the LTE and Wi-Fi networks are aggregated to deliver speeds of up to 400 Mbps.

During the event, the Finnish telecoms giant will also demonstrate the Distributed Beamforming technology which enables operators to triple the download and upload capacity of a Nokia TD-LTE-A ‘Supercell’ (a group of cells served by a single baseband unit) to increase cell edge speeds compared to stand-alone LTE cells, by removing inter-cell interference.

Initiatives such as FastMile for TD-LTE will let operators improve connectivity to those who are currently unconnected and change people’s lives for the better.
