According to local press reports, Italy’s Ministry of Economic Development (MdSE) has enlisted Chinese telecoms equipment vendor Huawei Technologies to perform a study into the impact of using spectrum in the 800MHz frequency band for the deployment of Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology. The ministry has deemed the trial an important step towards the introduction of 4G in Italy, with a provisional January 2013 launch date mentioned. The selection of Huawei as the sole company in charge of the study has been credited to its status as the first vendor to trial LTE in Italy, when it tested the technology in association with Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM) in December 2009, achieving maximum downlink transmission speeds of 140Mbps.
