Taiwan Cellular orders 3G UMTS infrastructure from Siemens
January 13, 2003
Mobile radio operator Taiwan Cellular (TCC) has commissioned Siemens
mobile to supply and set up its UMTS network. Siemens mobile has
been the sole GSM supplier for TCC for seven years. This partnership
is now to be continued with the setting up of the UMTS network.
Siemens mobile is already delivering the first components to TCC
in the current quarter of 2003. They come from the Siemens UMTS
factory in Durach (Germany), where production of 3G mobile radio
is in full swing.
For Siemens mobile the contract with TCC is the first UMTS order
in Asia and is therefore of major significance. "Having established
ourselves as one of the top 3 UTMS suppliers in Europe we were able
to win orders in every major country in Europe, and now we have
recorded our first UMTS success in the Asian market. We will continue
to pursue our 3G strategy offensive for Asia," says Lothar Pauly,
board member of the Siemens Information and Communication Mobile
Group, underscoring the significance of concluding this most recent
contract.
Siemens mobile is supplying TCC with the core and radio network,
hardware and software components for location-based services, and
is supporting the Taiwanese mobile radio operator in developing
its GSM network. TCC is part of the Taiwan Telecom Group which has
around eight million mobile radio customers and which, with a market
share of some 33.5% is the market leader in Taiwan. Taiwan is one
of the most highly-developed mobile radio markets in Asia with a
penetration rate of 100%. This means that there are mobile phone
users who have several contracts.
With its first UMTS order in Asia Siemens mobile is establishing
a further milestone in its 3G development. UTMS test networks are
now in operation in 21 countries, with four in Asia in China, Taiwan,
Malaysia and Singapore. So far more than 6,000 base stations have
been delivered worldwide.
