China Telecom launches CDMA2000 EV-DO Rev. B pre-commercial network with Huawei’s solution

BANGALORE, INDIA: Huawei has successfully delivered two CDMA2000 1x EV-DO Rev. B networks in Beijing and Guangzhou for China Telecom.

Huawei’s industry-leading EV-DO Rev. B solution will enable operators to improve capacity, throughput and latency on their existing EVDO networks and offer sophisticated 3G services to the subscribers of China Telecom, including VoIP (Voice over IP), voice on demand, and streaming media.

The EV-DO Rev. B networks are the fastest 3G networks to date in China, supporting downlink data rates of up to 9.3Mb/s per user. Based on 2.1GHz and 800MHz dual-band, the EV-DO Rev.B networks will be able to enhance the carrying capacity to deal with the explosion of data services and provide stable and reliable high-speed mobile broadband experiences for 3G users.

Zhao Ming, President of Huawei CDMA Product Line, said: “Huawei is fully engaged with world leading CDMA operators, including China Telecom, to drive CDMA’s evolution and commercial development. Establishing two EV-DO Rev.B networks for China Telecom in a short time demonstrates Huawei’s commitment to providing our customers with innovative mobile broadband services."

As the leading CDMA end-to-end solutions provider, Huawei released the first commercial EV-DO Rev.B solution at the fourth Global CDMA Operation and Development Forum in June 2009.
