Siemens invests in China
October 26, 2002
As part of the acceleration of its mobile communication activities
in Asia, Siemens is continuing its focus on China as the largest
market in the Asia-Pacific region and plans to spend USD 49 million
this fiscal year developing a Chinese next-generation mobile standard.
In mobile network infrastructure, Siemens mobile continues to favor
both the Chinese TD-SCDMA standard as well as UMTS. The investment
volume, he added, now ranges well into the hundreds of millions
of euros.
"Siemens Mobile Acceleration," whose mission is to foster startups
with innovative mobile business ideas, has a team of employees who
are on the constant lookout for startups with compelling applications
for next generation mobile networks and mobile devices. "Every day,
we receive good ideas for broadening our mobile communication business.
People in Asia are open-minded to new technologies. What we find
here are well-trained employees who can support us in achieving
our objectives. That's why we're putting our confidence in this
market," said . Lothar Pauly, Board Member of the Information and
Communication Mobile Group (Siemens).
In addition to Europe, UMTS test networks are also up and running
in China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore. "In Europe, we built the
first fully functional UMTS networks in England and Monaco. And
we'll soon have similar successes to report with TD-SCDMA networks,"
explained Pauly. Siemens mobile is developing the 3G standard together
with the China Academy of Telecommunications Technologies (CATT).
Following a number of successful tests in which voice and data were
transferred error-free, it is now anticipated that the Chinese government
will reach a decision on authorizing this standard. "In China, TD-SCDMA
is every bit as important to us as UMTS. We will continue to pursue
this development and will be sustaining our investments to the tune
of more than EUR 50 million during the current year. The total investment
volume ranges well into the hundreds of millions of euros," Pauly
said.
