ZTE has announced that it has launched the industry’s first commercial TD-LTE base stations: BBU- B8300 and RRU- R8962. 

ZTE’s B8300 TD-LTE base station is based on ZTE's SDR unified platform and can be upgraded from TD-SCDMA mode to TD-LTE or TD/TD-LTE dual mode. It fully supports a smooth evolution of carrier networks to LTE and lowers their total cost of ownership.

ZTE’s R8962 TD-LTE base station supports two channels with 20W transmission power each - the highest transmission power and power efficiency in the industry. It incorporates compact size, the most lightweight design in the industry, and meets the growing industry demand for energy savings and emission reduction. Operators will benefit from its innovative product features for multi-mode functions of TD/TD-LTE, as well as its multi-band 2.3/2.6 GHz and multi-scenario indoor/outdoor applications.

 To date, ZTE has deployed five commercial LTE networks and built 40 LTE trial networks for leading telecom operators in Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and MEA according to company website.
