Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei Technologies has announced that the company has set up a long-term development lab in Tokyo, Japan.

The lab will not only be used as a research and development center for LTE technologies, but also will provide testing and training facilities for the implementation and commercialization of the next-generation wireless technologies.

In addition, Huawei's research team will be able to complete product tests with Japanese operators before delivery of new systems.

Yan Lida, representative from Huawei Japan, said that Huawei is glad to show its latest LTE testing technologies to clients in Japan. Because of the new lab, Huawei and its cooperative partners can start to deploy the commercial use of the LTE network at any time. With the top innovative and training conditions provided by the lab, Huawei hopes to aid its Japanese clients in the research and development of LTE solutions.
