Chinese Government Calls For Speeding Up Time Division-Synchronous Code Duplicate Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA)

CD (CHINA)--China Daily through Agilent web site reports the Chinese Government is calling for an intensive industry-wide effort to speed up the development of TD-SCDMA mobile phones. TD-SCDMA technology made major breakthroughs in the past few months, said Zhang Xinsheng, Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology under the Ministry of Information Industry (MII). However, the undeveloped mobile phones and chips supporting such a network standard is still a problem. TD-SCDMA in recent months had successful network test results, increasing industry-wide support particularly from some major global telecoms giants and strong government backing increased the possibility that TD-SCDMA is a winner in China's 3G market. The government requests four major TD-SCDMA equipment makers TD Tech Ltd, ZTE Corp, Datang Telecom and China Putian Corp to open free labs for handset makers to test TD-SCDMA mobile terminals.
