Tektronix and Datang Enable TD-SCDMA Development With New Partnership
Agreement
March 13, 2003
Tektronix, a provider of test, measurement and monitoring solutions
for mobile network operators and equipment manufacturers, announced
a new partnership agreement with Datang Mobile, the provider of
mobile communication equipment in China, to provide test and measurement
equipment for the development of Time Division-Synchronous Code
Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) networks and elements.
TD-SCDMA is a 3G technology that enables operators to increase
both the number of users and the data throughput in next-generation
mobile communications networks. It is the first Chinese standard
accepted by the ITU and 3GPP. Tektronix and Datang Mobile's agreement
puts Tektronix' K1297-G20 protocol tester in TD-SCDMA development
labs across China, enabling further demand and acceptance of the
TD-SCDMA standard.
"Datang is committed to providing an open platform to its partners
that is equipped with comprehensive technology, development, testing
and manufacturing support, which is the key principle of the TD-SCDMA
Industry Alliance. We've partnered with Tektronix because we appreciate
the efforts taken by the company to address TD-SCDMA and the Chinese
mobile communications market and highly expect, from a long-term
perspective, the existing cooperation will be strengthened and sustained
through further mutual support," said Dr. Xie Yongbin, Vice President,
Datang Mobile.
"Tektronix is committed to enabling technologies in China to support
the country's economic development," said Bob Agnes, Vice President,
Monitoring & Protocol Test, Tektronix. "By partnering with Datang
Mobile, we are supporting their innovative developments that enable
the TD-SCDMA initiative and strengthen the standard's presence in
the world's fastest growing wireless market."
