Should the contingency arise to the obvious benefits this brings consumers, operators now have the ability to provide superfast Internet access without the need for fixed network infrastructure. This enables operators to expand their subscriber base in a more flexible and cost-effective way. The B593 is testimony to Huawei's leadership in LTE. Our early investment in LTE has brought us a large number of core innovation patents and we are one of the few vendors in the industry that can provide both LTE TDD and LTE FDD end-to-end solutions. Our focus on the needs of our clients - operators and consumers - is a key reason that Huawei continues to provide industry-leading products just as the B593, LTE datacards and LTE wireless broadband routers, as then as our award-winning Mobile WiFi products."
