Alcatel invests heavily in China's future global leadership in 3G
August 27, 2003
Alcatel announced that R&D in 3G will constitute a significant portion
of the $US 100 million R&D investment in China this year. In addition
to R&D, investment in 3G infrastructure and application development in
China will be increased by $US 45 million. This substantial commitment
will further be used to strengthen its R&D, localization, and the 3G Reality
Centre to support China's 3G development.
With the enhanced 3G capability, Alcatel Shanghai Bell, will be able
to firmly support operators in China as they prepare for 3G commercial
deployments. The company's 3G Reality Centre in Shanghai, which provides
a fully-featured and live 3G environment for testing innovative applications
and services with local partners, will also be further enhanced to meet
the fast growing demand for new mobile applications in China.
The 3G Reality Centre in Shanghai has already conducted laboratory and
field trials on 3G infrastructure and new mobile applications in China.
The Centre is also the heart of Alcatel's 3G Reality Centre network in
Asia Pacific and is connected online to an equivalent Centre in Paris
"We firmly believe that China, an emerging hotbed of mobile applications,
will take on a leading role in the field of 3G worldwide," stated Philippe
Germond, President and chief operating officer of Alcatel. "Alcatel is
fully committed to partnering with Chinese operators to develop successful
3G services, bringing our industry-leading solutions, world-class R&D,
global experience and building this into a full long-term applications
capability within China."
Alcatel established the Evolium SAS joint venture in 2000 together with
Fujitsu, a leading UMTS solutions supplier to NTT DoCoMo in Japan, the
world's pioneer in 3G commercial deployment. Alcatel's Evolium solutions
are uniquely designed to suit the growth requirements of all mobile operators,
incumbent and greenfield alike. They are well-proven and recognized in
the industry for their strong capabilities of enabling rich portfolios
of applications. By the end of 2002, more than 20 3G/UMTS pilot networks
and pre-commercial deployments based on Evolium solutions were deployed
worldwide, including Orange in France.
On the R&D front, Alcatel Shanghai Bell puts a strong emphasis on 3G/UMTS
development. The Chinese company is one of Alcatel's three key mobile
R&D centers worldwide, accounting for more than 20 percent of Alcatel's
global R&D activities on 3G. With its extensive customer support team
and strong technology competence, Alcatel Shanghai Bell will provide high-quality
service and support to the customers in China.
According to the Chinese Ministry of Information Industry, by the end
of July 2003, the number of mobile subscribers in China had reached 234
million, representing the largest mobile phone market in the world.
