1. One LTE is the trend. Huawei strieved for helping operators’ business
success based on optimising current spectrum as well as new bands
development.
2. One LTE convergence, CA, and spectrum refarming are the main
theme in 2014 and solution is ready.
3. Huawei is committed and open to work with industry to drive quick
release of spectrum and ecosystem supprt of DD800/APT700, L450,
3.5G, LSA, U-LTE/LTE/WiFi convergence and explore 5G development.
