Nokia Targets China for 3G Success
October 28, 2002 - source: BWCS
Finnish equipment supplier Nokia is expecting to see a big demand
for 3G systems and handsets in China, regardless of how operators
and consumers treat next generation services in other countries.
The vendor has already invested around US$2.3 billion in developing
its operations in China, and has recently opened new R&D facilities
in Zhejiang Province. China is currently Nokia’s second largest
market, and the Chinese 3G sector has been valued at US$100 billion
within five years.
Nokia’s senior vice president, Juhanin Kuusi, has told Business
Weekly: “3G development in China certainly will have its own roadmap
different from Europe and Japan. In China, while mobile voice service
is needed based on the large population, the need for mobile data
service is rapidly increasing in urban areas.”
While the Chinese government has still to decide on which 3G standard
to licence – wideband CDMA (WCDMA), cdma2000, the locally-developed
TD-SCDMA, or a combination of these – Nokia is advocating an upgrade
from GSM to WCDMA technology, which is favoured by European operators
and is currently in use by NTT DoCoMo of Japan. The country’s dominant
cellular operators, China Mobile and China Unicom, currently offer
most of their services over GSM networks. Nokia’s Kuusi says: “WCDMA
3G is for both data and voice services with larger capacity, cost
efficiency and better quality, which is right for China.”
