Alcatel-Lucent has completed a series of data calls – involving terminals from third-party suppliers – using Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology for Time Division Duplex (TDD) spectrum (TD-LTE), a mobile broadband standard that will be used by operators in China and across the globe.

The test calls were completed by Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell (ASB), Alcatel-Lucent’s flagship company in China.

The company believes that TD-LTE, which was driven by operators in China, is expected to play an important role in the development of 4G networks globally.

The tests, the first such calls completed using infrastructure (Alcatel-Lucent’s commercial eNode B base station) and terminals from multiple vendors (UTStarcom and Signalion), involved live video streaming and web browsing services on TD-LTE.
