Motorola To Sign With China Unicom For Phase III Of CDMA2000 1X Network
July 8, 2003
Motorola’s Global Telecom Solutions Sector (GTSS) announced it is the
first supplier to sign a contract with China Unicom for the Phase III
expansion of the operator’s CDMA2000 1X network. The expansion contract,
worth more than $80 million, will bring advanced mobile communications
services to customers in the cities of Nanjing, Suzhou, WuXi, Changzhou,
Nantong and Zhenjiang in Jiangsu province, one of the most developed districts
of China.
The network expansion, including SC4812 and SC300 base stations, network
optimization services and training, is scheduled for completion in the
second half of 2003. When completed, it will more than double the capacity
in those six cities, enabling service for up to 2.2 million subscribers.
“Motorola, a global leader and key equipment supplier for CDMA2000 1X
networks worldwide, has been enthusiastically supporting China Unicom
in its quest to bring advanced wireless services to its customers,” said
Ruey Bin Kao, corporate vice president and general manager of GTSS, Motorola
China.
With the deployment of CDMA2000 1X service in Jiangu province, China
Unicom can offer its customers high-speed Internet access and advanced
applications and services.
Motorola has been the largest mobile wireless system supplier to China
Unicom since 1995 when it began supplying GSM digital cellular network
systems solutions, and has played an integral role in China Unicom’s migration
to advanced CDMA technology.
This is the first contract Motorola has won in China Unicom’s CDMA Phase
III, which is a CDMA2000 1X expansion. In May 2001, GTSS signed CDMA 95A
contracts with China Unicom worth approximately $407 million for the CDMA
infrastructure that laid the groundwork for China Unicom's migration to
CDMA2000 1X. That was followed in October 2002 with contracts valued at
nearly $446 million to expand the network and upgrade to CDMA2000 1X in
the city of Beijing and in 10 provinces including Guangdong, Jiangsu,
Fujian, Hebei, Jilin, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Xinjiang and Gansu. All
of the contracts included network equipment and deployment as well as
CDMA network optimization services and technical training.
Motorola is a provider in CDMA2000 1X contracts, having won contracts
with 15 wireless operators worldwide and shipped more than 30,000 CDMA2000
1X-capable base stations. This is Motorola’s 15th announced CDMA2000 1X
contract, and the 7th CDMA2000 1X contract with operators in the Asia
Pacific region.
