Altair Semiconductor Successfully Demonstrates its LTE Chipset Speeds and Service for China Mobile Executives
Demo was Held During Last Week's Next Generation Mobile Network Alliance Board Meeting
GUANGZHOU, China, June 16, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Altair Semiconductor (http://www.altair-semi.com), the world's leading
developer of ultra-low power, small footprint and high performance 4G LTE
chipsets [http://altair-semi.com/3gpp-lte-chipsets ], announced today that
its TD-LTE chipset, integrated in a USB dongle developed by AsiaTelco
Technologies, achieved download speeds of more than 50Mbps and upload speeds
of more than 18Mbps in a live over-the-air demonstration requested by
executives from China Mobile during last week's NGMN (Next Generation Mobile
Network) Alliance board meeting. As part of the executive demonstration,
Altair's chipset provided high speed broadband internet service for meeting
participants.
Altair, which is shipping one of the first commercial TDD/FDD LTE
chipsets in the market today, has established a strong leadership position
in the emerging TD-LTE market. The company's chipset has already
demonstrated the highest performance of any other TD-LTE solution in India
and Japan, and prior to last week's demo at the NGMN meeting, has completed
several months of rigorous testing with China Mobile.
"The combination of AsiaTelco's strong product integration expertise and
our field proven TD-LTE chipsets has allowed us to bring one of the first
commercial grade TD-LTE solutions to market," said Eran Eshed, Co-Founder
and VP of Marketing and Business Development at Altair Semiconductor. "Our
customers not only benefit from a very mature and field proven TD-LTE
solution, they also get to use the exact same chipset and software platform
to serve FDD LTE markets - and in any LTE frequency band globally. This is
an extremely valuable proposition which provides us with tremendous market
traction."
"AsiaTelco is very grateful to China Mobile for providing us with the
opportunity to demonstrate our first TD-LTE product," said Jason Ding, CEO
of AsiaTelco Technologies Co. "Our partnership with Altair has provided us
with the ability to offer LTE products to the market well ahead of our
