Shanghai - Nokia is to supply a LTE network in the 700
megahertz spectrum band to the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Group, a
diversified broadcasting, media, manufacturing and real estate
company. The deployment will transform Shanghai's fast-growing
former industrial district of Hongkou through a range of new smart
city services, for which Nokia will supply advanced wireless
communications based on FDD-LTE technology for smart city and
public safety applications. Nokia Shanghai Bell, Nokia's JV
company in China will provide the deployment and services.
The LTE network is being deployed to provide broadband
connectivity for city services, specifically high-speed wireless
links to video from cameras used for traffic control, video
monitoring and analysis, and additional services in future. The
network is based on Nokia's FDD-LTE solution and offers the data
capacity needed to support a variety of bandwidth-intensive video
formats, including high-definition and ultra-high definition 4K, 3D
and more. This deployment marks Nokia's first for LTE technology in
the 700 MHz spectrum band in China.
In addition to network infrastructure, Nokia Shanghai Bell's
global services team will provide services including systems
integration, network planning and implementation.
The project builds on Nokia's strong track-record supporting
smart city initiatives worldwide. It also highlights the progress
of Nokia's strategy of expanding its customer activities outside of
the traditional telecommunications sphere, a key focus of the
company.
Ding Yong, General Manager of Oriental Pearl Digital TV,
said: "Nokia has been an excellent partner for these new smart
city initiatives. Their LTE 700 MHz technology performed extremely
well in testing and the strong local support from Nokia Shanghai
Bell has been very beneficial as well. We look forward to our
continued close cooperation to bring smart city services to the
people of Shanghai.
Jin Jian, head of Enterprise & Public Sector at Nokia
Shanghai Bell, said: "This collaboration with Shanghai
Oriental Pearl Group is an important first step in efforts to bring
smarter services to China's largest city and critical business and
innovation hub. As a leading provider of wireless connectivity

project."
