Telefónica O2 Germany starts high speed LTE pilot network
Nokia Siemens Networks are about to deploy one of the Germany's first pilot LTE networks for Telefónica O2 Germany. The LTE pilot network in Halle (East Germany) will start network deployment in September 2010 and will go into pre-commercial operation by the end of 2010. It will be built in 2.6 GHz and Digital Dividend (800 MHz) spectrum and will reuse existing base station sites for network upgrade
Nokia Siemens Networks will deploy the complete LTE overlay network that will provide broadband capacity and coverage in Halle and its suburb Teutschenthal, an area where there is currently limited broadband access.
"We have always held that there is a strong link between broadband deployment, productivity and economic growth," added Thomas Riedel, head of Nokia Siemens Networks' Telefónica business in Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia. "We are at the forefront of LTE development and have recently concluded a trial on the Digital Dividend spectrum. We have already started commercial production of related network products."
