http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/04/huawei-intel.jpg In a classic case of east meets west, Huawei and Intel have joined forces to create an interoperability test lab that will focus on China’s homegrown time-division LTE (TD-LTE) network. While the technology runs contrary to the more common frequency-division LTE (FD-LTE), the Chinese brand of 4G is situated to take root in the US under Clearwire’s banner. Through its partnership with Huawei, Chipzilla – a newbie in the smartphone arena – will be able to engage in end-to-end testing of its mobile equipment and verify its readiness for TD-LTE. For Huawei’s part, it plans to use the test lab as a means to court other handset and chipset manufacturers, and hence drive the adoption of TD-LTE. Naturally, we’re left wondering the obvious: whether this unique collaboration will bring about Huawei smartphones with Intel Inside. Mum’s the word on that one… for now.
