Continuous Computing to deliver TD-SCDMA radio network solutions

November 16, 2004

Continuous Computing, provider of high availability platform solutions that enable telecom equipment manufacturers to rapidly deploy converged communications, announced that Datang Mobile has selected Trillium SS7 and ATM offerings from Continuous Computing as essential elements to deliver TD-SCDMA Radio Network Solutions into the Chinese market. By incorporating products from Continuous Computing, Datang Mobile's solution will allow for more efficient use of the wireless spectrum and will enable carriers to deploy Radio Network Controller (RNC) and Node B network elements for innovative 3G Wireless services.

Datang Mobile, a Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer, has been at the industry forefront in defining the standards for and delivering TD-SCDMA solutions. Ratified just this year, TD-SCDMA is a key 3G Wireless technology sponsored by the Chinese government for delivering advanced data and multimedia services. It is one of three 3G technologies, including W-CDMA/3GSM and CDMA-2000, which will be considered by the Chinese government when licensing 3G Wireless spectrum for network deployment in China. Datang Mobile relies on Continuous Computing to supply the key standards-compliant elements necessary to deliver these W-CDMA and TD-SCDMA solutions either separately or within the same Radio Access Network (RAN) infrastructure.

"China's 3G Wireless market is expanding quickly, and Continuous Computing's newly established Shanghai office allows us to meet the product and service requirements of our Chinese customers," said Ken Kalb, Chairman, CEO & co-founder of Continuous Computing. "Particularly in the rapidly-growing Chinese telecom market, delivering a time-to-market advantage is key to establishing a competitive industry presence. Continuous Computing provides that advantage to Datang Mobile, a driver and early adopter of emerging TD-SCDMA standards."
