BARCELONA, Spain ― LG Electronics and China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile carrier, tested the Time Division-Long Term Evolution technology on its Optimus G at the Mobile World Congress on Tuesday.

The local electronics manufacturer said that it has joined the effort pushed by China Mobile, which had about 703 million subscribers as of November of last year. “Time Division” refers to receiving and transmitting channels on the same frequency band.

“The smartphone business in China will be based on the TD-LTE technology,” said its mobile chief Park Jong-seok.

China Mobile is planning to set up 200,000 base stations in 100 different Chinese cities for the TD-LTE service this year. The firm tested the service in 15 cities, including Guangzhou, Shenyang and Hangzhou in 2012.

Other hardware partners for the TD-LTE service include Samsung Electronics, Huawei and ZTE.
