| NTT DOCOMO Rolls Out LTE Mobile Network |
|
|
|
Tokyo, July 20, 2009 (IRG) - NTT DOCOMO president Ryuji Yamada said the Japanese operator is on track for launching its new Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile network in 2010, reports the Financial Times. The adoption of LTE will see DOCOMO's handsets become compatible with other operators' 3G networks for the first time since the 2001 launch of its FOMA service, which used a WCDMA standard that was slightly different to the one rolled out by the majority of the rest of the world.
DOCOMO has learned a hard lesson from being the first operator in the world to launch 3G services. DOCOMO plans to launch LTE handsets in 2011 that are also compatible with its current 3G network, so customers can still access services if they're outside an LTE coverage area. DOCOMO will use its high-speed LTE network to offer mobile content services in a bid to drive new revenue in the saturated Japanese market.
