LIVE FROM THE 2011 GSMA MOBILE ASIA CONGRESS: Huawei today unveiled what it claims is the industry’s first multimode TDD/FDD LTE chipset based on the 3GPP’s Release 9 specification. To date, all other similar products have been based on the earlier Release 8 spec for LTE. “Huawei’s Hi6920 is the fastest multi-mode chip that supports the complete range of standards: LTE TDD/FDD/TD SCDMA/UMTS/GSM/EDGE/GPRS,” noted the vendor in a statement. “Based on industry-leading technologies such as dual-layer Beamforming and MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), Hi6920 brings users the best experience and highest downlink data rates of up to150Mb/s.” In addition to Balong 710, Huawei will also this week showcase other multi-mode terminal devices, including the mobile WiFi device E598.
