Siemens to invest US$ 30 million in WCDMA production in Shanghai
August 16, 2003
Shanghai is going to become the second production location worldwide
for W-CDMA technology from Siemens. The company is investing US$ 30 million
to expand the Shanghai Siemens Mobile Communication (SSMC) factory.
Lothar Pauly, Boardmember of Siemens, said: The company has put the first
W-CDMA networks into commercial operation in Europe and is one of the
top suppliers worldwide. In China, Siemens is working together with Chinese
partners to develop the local 3G standard, TD-SCDMA. Pauly views two contracts
to expand GSM networks valued at a total of US$ 144,8 million as strengthening
Siemens mobile’s good collaboration with the two Chinese mobile operators
China Mobile and China Unicom.
China, with 234 million mobile phone customers, is presently paying close
attention to Europe, where the first W-CDMA networks from Hutchison recently
went into commercial operation in England, Italy and Austria. All of these
networks were supplied by Siemens mobile together with partner NEC. Worldwide,
there are already twelve W-CDMA networks up and running, seven of them
from Siemens und NEC. Some one million mobile phone users are communicating
over W-CDMA technology built by the partners. To date, they have signed
24 W-CDMA agreements worldwide and have supplied 20,000 base stations,
making them the front- runners in this field.
And now, China is going to become the second production location for
W-CDMA technology from Siemens mobile in addition to Germany. Today, the
base stations are being manufactured at Siemens’ German factory in Durach.
Siemens mobile is therefore investing US$ 30 million to expand manufacturing
capacities in Shanghai.
In addition to W-CDMA, Pauly announced, the Chinese 3G standard, TD-SCDMA,
will continue to be moved forward as well. Together with Chinese partners,
Siemens has been developing this mobile communication technology, which
is part of the UMTS family. Siemens is the only company who is able to
supply TD-SCDMA technology today.
“This puts us in a unique position in China that none of our competitors
can match. We bring to the table experience from Europe in building W-CDMA,
as well as an understanding of Chinese mobile communication needs,” said
Pauly.
