China Mobile 4G LTE Expansion on Track

by

China Mobile 4G ExpansionChina Mobile maintains guidance of building 200,000 LTE base stations in FY13, 20.8% of which will be based on the 2.3GHz E-band spectrum for indoor coverage. The base stations number split between software upgrade (F-band spectrum) and new towers (mainly on D-band spectrum) will partly depend on the equipment price. LTE equipment tender will be completed by August.

Management expects commercial TD-LTE smartphone will be launched by end of 2013, but mainly high-end models. TD-LTE smartphone priced around Rmb1,000 could be available by end of 2014, based on current feedback from chipset and handset vendors.

China Mobile 4G TenderAccording to a purchase announcement released on China Mobile’s website on 21 June, China Mobile had officially started its 4G-LTE base station bidding process, including 207k base stations and 550k carrier sectors. Bids must be submitted by 15 July, and results will be announced in August. We expect the bidding process will shed-light on the price for different types of base stations (upgrade vs. New and 1.9GHz vs. 2.6GHz). Given the tight schedule to finish the deployment within 2013, we also expect the majority of the deployment will be upgrades, which will mainly benefit local equipment suppliers.

The bidding amount could be as high as CNY25bn (~USD4bn), making it the largest telecom equipment bid in China this year.

A host of major telecom equipment vendors,
