Huawei has been selected by Wireless City Planning Inc. (WCP), a leading mobile operator, Softbank’s group company, to deploy a large-scale, LTE TDD compatible AXGP (Advanced eXtended Global Platform) commercial network in Japan.
At first, the new network will be launched in some parts of Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka. It is the fastest mobile broadband network in Japan, offering downlink data speeds of 110Mb/s to provide end users with the highest quality data service experience.
“We are excited about our new partnership with Huawei, and to tap on Huawei’s leadership and expertise in deploying its SingleRAN solution and other advanced mobile communications technology to build Japan’s fastest radio network,” said Junichi Miyakawa, Director and COO, WCP.
Taking into consideration the unique characteristics of each city, Huawei provided Softbank with its industry-leading SingleRAN solution, enabling fast and cost-effective deployment of the AXGP network, and ensuring that Softbank’s network is future-proof for the smooth evolution to LTE-Advanced.
