Ngokwesaziso sokuthengwa kwempahla kuphela ngo-2019LTEuthungelwano olungundoqo (CN) iprojekthi yokwandisa umthamo ofakwe kwi-China Telecom ukwakhiwa kwenethiwekhi yeselula, umxholo wokuthengwa kwempahla ugubungela i-MME, i-SAE-GW, i-HSS, i-PCRF, i-DRA, i-CG kunye nezinye izixhobo ze-EPC ezifunekayo kumaphondo angama-31 kuzwelonke.
Abona baboneleli-nkonzo baquka: iHuawei,ZTEkunye no-Ericsson.
Kwafundwa ukuba kwi-2017, i-China Telecom yandise amandla ezixhobo zeHuawei, i-ZTE, kunye ne-Ericsson malunga nokwakhiwa kwenethiwekhi yeselula yeprojekthi ye-LTE CN;ngo 2018, amasebe China Telecom kumaphondo ahlukeneyo andise umthamo wabo LTE CNs.Ngokungafaniyo neemeko zangaphambili, ukwandiswa kwamandla e-LTE CN kulo nyaka kukuvula indlela ye-5G ngokuyinhloko.
