Telecom NZ to test LTE in 700 MHz band
2014-04-30 10:00:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telecom New Zealand said it will begin trialling its LTE data network over APT700 MHz spectrum next month, alongside partner Huawei Technologies. The non-commercial trial will see selected customers provide feedback for future network build. The 700MHz spectrum is expected to help the operator expand LTE density across the country, as the frequencies provide greater reach and enhanced in-building coverage over other higher band frequencies. While the government has not yet completed the auction of the 700 MHz spectrum, which was released as part of the switch to digital broadcasting, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has approved Telecom's temporary use of the spectrum for trial purposes. Telecom has already committed to buy 700 MHz spectrum in the auction and plans to deploy this spectrum once the auction process has concluded. The trial will run over 11 cell sites across three Waikato locations including central Hamilton and the Mystery Creek Events Centre. Telecom will use Huawei wireless routers for testing purposes. Testing will begin in late May and run for approximately four weeks.

China Telecom service revenues up 8.1% in Q1
2014-04-28 09:12:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) China Telecom reported first-quarter revenues up 6.9 percent year-on-year to CNY 83.18 billion. Service revenues, excluding mobile device sales, rose a faster 8.1 percent to CNY 71.15 billion. EBITDA increased just 0.6 percent to CNY 25.09 billion, amid a rise in personnel and network costs, while net profit was up 17.9 percent to CNY 5.55 billion thanks to lower financing costs. China Telecom suffered a loss of 2.3 million mobile customers in the three months, for a total 183.2 million at the end of March. The company blamed the decline on the intense market competition and launch of new 4G offers by operators. China Telecom's 3G subscriber base rose by 1 million compared to December to 104.1 million, and the operator launched its first LTE services in February. Mobile voice traffic was down compared to Q4 and Q1 2013, while China Telecom said ARPU was stable compared to 2013. In the fixed market, the company lost another 3 million local access customers compared to year-end, to finish March with a total 152.8 million, hurt by continued mobile substitution. Wireline broadband subscribers grew by 2.2 million in the same period, for a total 102.3 million.
