Huawei will provide 4G by December
Huawei Technologies is planning to offer its 4G solutions to support broadband operators in India by December 2011. The company is in talks with the Indian operators such as Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) for rolling out Long-Term Evolution (4G) solutions.
A 4G system provides IP-based mobile broadband solutions to laptops, computers, wireless modems, smartphones and other mobile devices. Huawei is working on LTE solutions since 2005.
Ying Weimen, President of GSM, UMT and LTE network at Huawei, said that they are bullish on their entry in India which will be by December 2011 and that they expect full-fledged rollout of LTE network by 2012.
Huawei's foray into LTE broadband solutions and 4G technologies indicate its shift toward new verticals in the fast-growing telecom sector in the country.
The company is also planning to introduce chipsets for 4G dongles by this year-end in India and will later move on to offer chipsets for terminals, smartphones and tablets. It plans to manufacture one lakh such 4G-enabled devices - primarily dongles - by the end of this year.
Along with India, the company is also planning to enter the North America and South African markets with its LTE offerings. The company plans to compete with US-based Qualcom, in the field of wireless networking solutions.
