InterDigital Elected as Council Member in TD-SCDMA Forumdate: January 17, 2002 InterDigital Communications Corporation, a developer and enabler of advanced wireless technologies and product platforms, announced today that it has been elected as a member at large and, additionally, as a Council member of the TD-SCDMA Forum, an international association of wireless technology developers and equipment producers formed to promote the use of Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) technology in wireless products. The TD-SCDMA Forum, organized in September 2000 by the China Mobile Communications Association, was created to promote the development and advancement of TD-SCDMA technology and applications within China and throughout the world. The Forum, with more than 300 members, provides a platform for worldwide operators, vendors, research institutes, educational services, standardization bodies and other companies or groups to exchange and communicate ideas or developments that impact TD-SCDMA technology. In recognition of its leading position as a global developer of TDD technology and products, InterDigital will join other Forum Council members, including Alcatel China, China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, CATT, CNC, CRTC, DaTang Group, Huawei Corporation, Jitong, Siemens, Motorola, Nortel, Qualcomm, UT Starcom and Zhongxing in promoting the development and application of TD-SCDMA technology. In presentations at the China Tech 2002 Conference, InterDigital's Chief Operating Officer, Rip Tilden, and Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Alain Briancon, emphasized InterDigital's leadership and strong commitment to developing and providing TDD technology and products. Speaking to an audience of government, technology and industry leaders, they explained the Company's views on the effectiveness of both TD-SCDMA and Wideband TDD (WTDD) technologies in delivering advanced services in 3G wireless products. "We are committed to bringing efficient and timely solutions to equipment producers and enabling operators to deliver rich applications to wireless consumers," said Mr. Tilden. "Our technology roadmap is centered on the development of open platforms that accelerate the broad use, and subsequent re-use, of our technology across multiple products. We see a growing market opportunity as more and more countries allocate 3G spectrum that includes unpaired bands where TDD technology can be deployed to deliver wireless data and multimedia services." "The 3G WCDMA standard incorporates both TD-SCDMA and WTDD, along with FDD technology. The two forms of TDD technology have strengths in different deployment scenarios for different market needs," said Dr. Briancon. "Designed to operate seamlessly and harmoniously with FDD, WTDD offers operators far greater capacity than FDD alone for asymmetric consumer and enterprise applications and multimedia traffic in hot spot deployments by enabling high performance terminals." "TD-SCDMA complements and fits the evolution of GSM networks. Wherever FDD is not used to provide broad coverage for voice and data services, TD-SCDMA technology is the efficient solution for 3G services. Its inherent efficiency makes it an effective technology to deliver broad coverage in various deployment scenarios. InterDigital, with its strong TDD technology focus, is well positioned to deliver TDD solutions worldwide. At least 75% of the core TDD technology we are developing can be employed in either TD-SCDMA or WTDD applications. Much of this core TDD technology is incorporated into contributions accepted by worldwide standards organizations," Dr. Briancon said.
