31 LTE-A Announcements OPERATORS NTT DoCoMo is undertaking field experiments of LTE-Advanced in real radio environments in the cities of Yokosuka and Sagamihara. NTT DoCoMo has confirmed the performance of LTE-Advanced technologies using simulators in its R & D center, achieving transmission data rates of approximately 1 Gbps on the downlink and 200 Mbps on the uplink. The Korea Communications Commission and the Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy held a demonstration of an LTE-Advanced system, which featured 'evolved Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service' indoors and an in-vehicle demonstration outdoors demonstrating 3D full HD broadcasting and HD video calling. SK Telecom plans to launch an LTE Advanced network in Other operators who have announced plans to deploy LTE-A in a similar timeframe include AT&T Mobility, Clearwire, Dish Network, and Sprint. Ericsson and Nokia Siemens will install LTE Release 10-capable equipment at 37,000 cell sites across T- Mobile's HSPA+ network footprint. T-Mobile plans to use the new AWS spectrum for its LTE deployment in VENDORS Ericsson demonstrated a working version of LTE-Advanced to the Swedish Post and Telecom Agency in June Downlink speeds more than 10 x faster than today s LTE deployments were shown. 60MHz of aggregated spectrum was used, compared to 20 MHz maximum possible with the current LTE standard. Also 8x8 MIMO was used on the downlink. Nokia Siemens Networks demonstrated LTE-Advanced at CommunicAsia 2011 in Singapore. Source: GSA Evolution to LTE Report January 2012
