Deployments
UMTS TDD has been commercially deployed by service providers around the world. Many of the world’s leading operators across Europe, Asia, and the Americas have initiated trials of the platform.

While some new organizations are looking at developing mobile broadband standards that will potentially be available in a few years, UMTS TDD is already putting smiles on the faces of subscribers and service providers alike.

The momentum behind UMTS TDD is growing steadily. Service Providers that deploy today enjoy the benefit of reference deployments from those who have already proven the technology in the real world.		 Some of the service providers who have deployed UMTS TDD include:
