September 21, 2004
The ninth annual 3G World Congress & Exhibition, Asia's longest-established and largest mobility event, has further strengthened the event's China focus with speakers and exhibition participation from key PRC telecommunications industry companies China Unicom, Huawei Technologies and ZTE, as well as the TD-SCDMA Forum as an endorsing industry association.
These additions underline the established position of 3G World Congress & Exhibition as the region's most important meeting point for the mobile industry.
Keynote speakers at the event now include: Wang Jianzhou, chairman and president of China Unicom; Yafang Sun, Chairwoman of the Board for Huawei; and Dr James Jiang Jianping, Chief Executive Officer, USA & Chief Technology Officer, Wireless for ZTE.
With the signing of China's TD-SCDMA Forum, the 3G World Congress & Exhibition is now supported by three of the leading 3G industry associations: the CDMA Development Group, the TD-SCDMA Forum and the UMTS Forum. In addition, the 3G World Congress & Exhibition enjoys the backing of ten other international industry associations and fifteen regional telecom associations.
"China is undoubtedly the most exciting telecoms market worldwide and a major focus of attention, so we are excited to be able to confirm the presence at the 3G World Congress & Exhibition of China Unicom, the second largest mobile operator globally, along with companies with a global reputation like Huawei Technologies and ZTE," commented Daniel Kirwin, Managing Director, Asia, of the Institute for International Research (IIR). Kirwin added, "Chairman Wang's keynote address will be one of the highlights of the conference and will no doubt touch upon China Unicom's plans for growth in the future.
"It is equally important that November's event will feature support from the leading mobile technology standards - including CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA and W-CDMA - which cements the role of the 3G World Congress & Exhibition as a forum for establishing new industry initiatives, confirming emerging business opportunities and resolving various differences of opinion that are inevitable in a highly competitive industry."
