Huawei and China Mobile Bring LTE TDD to the Top of Mount Everest
Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today announced the successful deployment with China Mobile of 4G coverage atop Mount Everest, 5,200 meters above sea level.

At a June 11 ceremony marking the launch of the service, China Mobile demonstrated a series of new 4G technologies to more than 200 guests including live HD video streaming from a Mount Everest base camp to the event venue. Huawei has already delivered 4G solutions to other parts of the region including EPC, integrated equipment rooms, BTS, microwave transmission and 4G devices.
