(Telecompaper) China Mobile has awarded nine contracts for the rollout of a 4G mobile network, with most going to domestic telecommunications equipment makers. Meanwhile, Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent, and Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN) have also secured contracts. Alcatel-Lucent said it had picked up about 11 percent of China Mobile's plan to build more than 207,000 TD-LTE base stations in China by the end of the year as part of its Phase I 4G network. The Financial Times reports that NSN and Ericsson won a similar share of the work as Alcatel-Lucent. China Mobile also selected six domestic vendors: Huawei, ZTE, Datang Mobile, FibreHome Technologies, Potevio, and New Postcom Equipment Company. An unnamed source told the paper that ZTE and Huawei won the lion's share of the contracts.
