SHANGHAI - China Mobile said on Thursday that it plans to team up with foreign carriers to establish a Time Division Long-Term Evolution (TD-LTE) trial network overseas in the next six months.

Wang Jianzhou, chairman of the world's biggest cellphone carrier, said many telecom operators in Asia, Europe and North America have expressed an interest in developing TD-LTE networks.

"We will cooperate with foreign operators to develop scale TD-LTE trial networks in their countries in the second half of this year," he said.
