Huawei Unveils World's First Triple-mode LTE Modem

Huawei has shown off the world's first triple-mode LTE modem compatible with all three major network standards: LTE, UMTS, and GSM. The triple-mode modem is based on Qualcomm's MDM9200 chipset and supports multiple mainstream LTE frequencies.

"Qualcomm is pleased to be working with Huawei to bring new products based on our industry-leading multi-mode 3G/LTE chipset to market," said Enrico Salvatori, senior vice president and general manager of Qualcomm Europe. "We are committed to the seamless commercialization of next-generation technologies around the world."

"The E398 is designed to address increasing requirements for operators to introduce commercial LTE services with flexible evolution roadmaps. With the E398, the end-users don't have to wait for the completion of the LTE network before they can enjoy 10 times higher speeds, as well as a continuous surfing experience. With rapid growth in the LTE market, Huawei will see the E398 modem as a start for future cooperation with partners all over the world", says James Chen, Managing Director of Huawei Nordic Office.

The Huawei E398 modem will be initially launched in the world's first LTE/GSM shared network in Sweden operated by Net4Mobility, a joint infrastructure venture between Tele2 Sweden and Telenor Sweden.

The same operators have selected Huawei to develop their nationwide LTE network in Sweden in terms of both infrastructure and terminal solutions.
