Infineon and Huawei join forces to offer WCDMA mobile phone platform
September 16, 2003
Germany's Infineon Technologies, the world’s sixth largest semiconductor
manufacturer, and China's Huawei Technologies, a supplier of network equipment,
announced at a signing ceremony in Beijing that they will join forces
to offer a competitive WCDMA mobile phone platform. Through this partnership
the two companies are creating a new business model to meet the specific
customer needs in China. Both companies strongly believe this will support
the large-scale introduction of WCDMA in China.
Infineon Technologies, a provider of 2G to 3G chipsets and complete solutions,
will contribute the reference design and protocol stack software for the
development of WCDMA mobile phone platform. Huawei will complement this
co- operation with leading-edge technologies and strong WCDMA network
expertise. Additionally, Huawei provides terminal testing and broad technical
experience in IOT (Inter-Operability Testing) between mobile terminals
and mobile systems. By joining forces for this end-to-end solution, both
companies will facilitate the integration of WCDMA mobile phone platforms,
through the development of application software, the integration of the
protocol stack software, and high-performance WCDMA RTT algorithms.
Generally, WCDMA mobile phone manufacturers specialize in supporting
multimedia communications and high data-rate for high-end users. The Infineon-Huawei
partnership will bring about a competitive voice-centric WCDMA mobile
phone platform for the mass market.
“The winning combination of Huawei’s and Infineon’s complementary know-how
enables the two companies to offer highly competitive WCDMA handsets that
satisfy the specific needs of China, the world’s largest mobile phone
market,” said Dr. Ulrich Schumacher, President and CEO of Infineon Technologies.
According to Ms. Sun Yafang, Chairman of Huawei, “Huawei has invested
heavily in WCDMA, the mainstream 3G standard. We have mastered the complete
set of technologies from core system technology to chip design, and become
one of the few in the world that can provide comprehensive commercial
systems. The partnership with Infineon will enhance Huawei’s capabilities
in end-to-end WCDMA solutions, better serve the needs of operators and
end users for low-cost WCDMA mobile phones (by offering voice and SMS
services) and promote 3G development in China. We also believe that the
platform cost could be narrowed to the level of GSM.”
“In the area of mobile terminals, Huawei is committed to developing low-cost
3G handsets and bringing the benefits of 3G to the general population,”
she added. “Huawei will endeavour to provide end-to-end solutions and
quality services to operators and end users by combining the unique features
of different mobile phones with Huawei’s competence in the wireless business.”
