LTE Initiative Committee Welcomes P1
By Farhan Gazi
South-East Asian 4G provider Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (P1) has been appointed to the Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI) Steering Committee which is the decision-making board for the 4G TD-LTE technology global movement.
GTI was founded by leading international mobile network operators in February 2011 to meet the demands for growing mobile broadband and explore new opportunities across industry and public segments. The five founding members - China Mobile, Clearwire, Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Softbank - combined make up more than half of the world's population.
Craig Ehrlich, Chairman of the GTI Steering Committee says that GTI aims to further bring together the leading operators to steer the TD-LTE ecosystem as a major standard in mobile broadband technology and drive early development of next generation mobile broadband networks.
Michael Lai, Chief Executive Officer of P1 comments, "Since 2008, P1 has been working tirelessly to shape the 4G broadband industry first with WiMAX. Now, P1 joins the ranks among the highest decision-making board in TD-LTE technology. Thanks to the team at GTI and P1, we will not rest on our laurels as this is just the tip of the iceberg in man to man, man to machine and ultimately machine to machine communications."
