Ericsson has been selected by China Mobile (CMCC) to deploy LTE TDD in 15 provinces in China. This is the first phase of the CMCC's LTE TDD network deployment. 

Ericsson will deploy radio access networks based on its multi-standard RBS 6000. For the core network, Ericsson has been selected to upgrade its installed base, equal to a market share of 40 percent in User Data Management (HLR/HSS). In addition, Ericsson has been awarded 20 percent market share in Evolved Packet Core. 

The scope of the contract also includes network design and optimization services.

The deal is aligned with the 11 percent market share in radio access networks awarded earlier in the China Mobile central purchasing process in September. The deployment has begun.
