China Mobile Outlines 4G Plan

China Mobile (NYSE: CHL), the world's largest wireless carrier by subscriber, has revealed its plan to commence the trial run of its 4G network during World Expo 2010 to be held in Shanghai from May 1 to Oct 31, 2010. The company's 4G service is based on the TD-LTE (Time Division Duplex Long Term Evolution) mobile broadband technology. Roughly 200 participants and 70 million visitors are expected to assemble at the Expo.

China Mobile has recently selected Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU) for the responsibilities of design, construction, installation and integration of communication infrastructure to facilitate the 4G network trial. The TD-LTE network will provide advanced wireless services (including high-definition TV and ultra-fast broadband Internet access) to the visitors at the exposition.

The three major Chinese telecom operators China Mobile, China Unicom (NYSE: CHU) and China Telecom (NYSE: CHA) are investing heavily in Shanghai to improve the city's network infrastructure, thereby ensuring the delivery of smooth network coverage for Word Expo 2010. China Mobile plans to invest RMB 15 billion ($2.19 billion) over the next three years in Shanghai.

China Mobile's TD-LTE venture is being supported by the British telecom giant Vodafone (NYSE: VOD).
