Huawei has announced a successful trial of LTE with Optimus. The trial achieved downlink speeds of 150 Mbps per user, and uplink speed of 60 Mbps.
In early 2010, Optimus had selected Huawei’s SingleRAN solution to modernize its GSM network in Portugal, enabling a fast LTE rollout in the future. Under the contract, Huawei’s mobile base stations will be installed in 33 regions. To date, Huawei has deployed more than 1,000 SingleRAN sites to Optimus.
“LTE first results are very promising and confirm the stability and high performance of Huawei’s solution, guaranteeing readiness for LTE deployment,” said José Pinto Correia, Executive Board member and Chief Technology Officer of Optimus.
In 2009, Optimus and Huawei launched Optimus’s HSPA+ services with 21 Mbps downlink data rate. In February 2010, Optimus and Huawei have announced the successful conclusion of Dual Carrier Technology tests, reaching download speeds of 42 Mbps.
