Motorola Evaluates Chinese 3G

date: February 25, 2002 - source: BWCS

Motorola is partnering China Mobile in a joint study into the potential of third generation mobile services in the People’s Republic. According to the China EME newswire, Motorola will assist China’s largest mobile operator in identifying the most cost-effective 3G network infrastructure to deploy. The two companies will also look at suitable 3G applications and services for the Chinese market. At the end of 2001 China was home to 145 million mobile subscribers of which China Mobile controlled around 70 million.

The Chinese government is currently evaluating three 3G technology options – GSM compatible wideband CDMA, cdma2000 and TD-SCDMA – and is expected to make a decision on its preferred technology later this year. However it is widely expected that the TD-SCDMA standard developed by Siemens and China’s Datang Telecommunications Technology & Industry Group will be chosen for at least one of China’s 3G licences, due to its low cost of deployment and local manufacturing connections. The government is expected to award between three and five 3G concessions by the end of 2002 but commercial 3G services are not expected to be introduced in China before 2005.
