World’s First Commercial LTE/DC-HSPA+ Network
On 25 November 2010, CSL announced the launch of the world’s first LTE/DC-HSPA+ network, heralding a new era in mobile communications. After a commercial LTE trial network had been established by CSL, Telstra, and ZTE in September 2009, LTE was then formally deployed in Hong Kong with peak downlink speeds of 100Mbps and low latency. At the launch ceremony, CSL demonstrated how LTE/DC-HSPA+ will outperform existing mobile technologies and how CSL would build on its partnership with ZTE. The new LTE/DC-HSPA+ network will take advantage of CSL’s leading position on spectrum to provide total coverage and world-class mobile broadband performance throughout Hong Kong. It will provide seamless connectivity that redefines the mobile broadband experience with ultra-fast speed, high bandwidth capacity, and personalization that has never been seen before in mobile services.
As well as offering high-speed highly reliable mobile data services, the LTE/DC-HSPA+ network will improve the lives of Hong Kong people by taking entertainment and interaction to new levels—anytime, anywhere—with 3DTV, interactive game, and e-learning. These applications will become an integral part of a daily mobile lifestyle.
