UTStarcom selected for 3G W-CDMA trial with China Netcom
December 16, 2003
UTStarcom announced that China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII)
has selected the company to conduct official field trials of its 3G W-CDMA
solution in the capital city of Beijing with China Netcom. The selection
follows UTStarcom's performance in the phase one and phase two of MII's
MTNet lab testing from June 2001 to August 2003.
The outdoor field trials, conducted by the MII's Research Institute of
Telecommunications Transmission (RITT) and 3G Technical Trial Expert Group
(3GTEG), were officially announced in November 2003, with testing slated
to begin in February 2004. The trial requires each participating vendor
to provide a 3GPP-compliant commercial system, including a Radio Access
Network with wide geographic coverage, and a Core Network with a full
complement of commercial network features.
"The MII's selection of UTStarcom for MTNet outdoor field trials is a
tremendous endorsement of the competitive performance of UTStarcom's 3G
technology and will allow us to showcase our leading W-CDMA solution in
the capital city of China," said Hong Lu, chief executive officer of UTStarcom.
"Because our 3G solution is highly complementary to our PAS wireless service
infrastructure, both UTStarcom and our operator customers can benefit
from a dual-service strategy, marketing 3G services to high-end subscribers
in major urban centers, while deploying PAS to satisfy the price-sensitive
consumer, which represents the majority market in China."
UTStarcom's success in the phase one and two lab testing has been well
recognized by China Netcom and the MII. As result, UTStarcom has earned
the opportunity to work closely with China Netcom in the Beijing field
trial.
Multi-Phase Testing by MTNet
From June 2001 through August 2003, UTStarcom participated in the first
two phases of the MTNet lab testing, which consisted of indoor technical
tests of 3GPP compliance, interface interoperability among different vendors,
and various functions and features. The upcoming outdoor trials are expected
to last approximately one year and will focus on performance, stability,
wide-area RF testing, as well as commercial applications on commercial
terminals.
A total of twelve W-CDMA system vendors/partnerships will participate
in the field trials. The outdoor trials are open to all operators, which
must provide base station sites and backhaul transport facilities. The
results of all the systems in all the trial sites will be made available
to all operators when testing is complete.
