Mobyland Launches World' s First Commercial 1800MHz LTE/EPC Network in Poland with Huawei' s E2E Solution

Huawei, a leader in providing next generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, today announced that Mobyland with cooperation of CenterNet, Poland' s leading 2G mobile provider, successfully launched the world' s first commercial 1800MHz LTE/EPC network with Huawei' s industry-leading end to end (E2E) LTE/EPC (Long Term Evolution/Evolved Packet Core) solution. Mobyland with cooperation of CenterNet is now able to provide the unparalleled mobile broadband service to mobile broadband operators and their end users with peak downlink speeds of more than 146 Mb/s per user.

According to the contract, Huawei has deployed a world-class mobile broadband network across Poland for Mobyland with its cutting-edge SingleRAN@Broad solution. This deployment includes the world' s first commercial LTE/EPC network based on 1800MHz spectrum with 20MHz bandwidth on one radio unit.

"Mobyland is committed to providing a high-quality mobile broadband service for our customers in Poland, and we are excited to partner with Huawei to introduce Poland's first commercial LTE/EPC network," said Adam Kuriański, the President of CenterNet and the Board Member of Mobyland. "Huawei is one of the few providers in the world that is capable of delivering such an end-to-end commercial LTE/EPC solution."

The first phase of commercial LTE network was deployed by software-upgrading Mobyland' s existing 2G network, based on Huawei equipment, covering Poland' s major cities such as Warsaw, Katowice, Lodz. The high-quality and rapid network deployment demonstrates that Huawei' s mobile network solution highlights smooth evolution in the future and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) saving.

Refarming Mobyland and CenterNet extant 2G bands, such as 1800MHz, will allow for greater performance across bands. This, in turn, will enable the LTE network to improve spectrum efficiency, enhance coverage quality, reduce the quantity of sites, and decrease carbon emissions. It results in a reduced TCO for mobile broadband operators.

"In addition to spurring the development of the LTE industry and ancillary technologies, Huawei closely cooperates with leading operators worldwide to explore new business models and to enlarge potential business opportunities," said Ying Weimin, President of LTE Product Line, Huawei. "Using a combination of existing wireless bands and new bands, Huawei is able to provide customized and competitive mobile broadband solutions to our customers. This approach results in a win-win for operators, end users and the LTE industry."

As a leading provider of end-to-end mobile broadband solutions, Huawei shares its patent and standards achievements in LTE with industry partners in an effort to build an open, cooperative, and harmonious LTE industry ecosystem. To date, Huawei has won 14 commercial LTE contracts, where one of them relates to Mobyland network, and has partnered with leading operators in Europe, North America, Asia Pacific and the Middle East to deploy over 60 LTE/EPC trial networks around the world.
