Beijing Eyes Wi-Fi For Olympics
RHI (CALIFORNIA)--On 29 May 2007, Red Herring (RH), a technology business out of Belmont, California, reports Linzhen Xie, a member of the Science & Technology Committee at China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII), spoke at RH Wireless 2007 in Beijing. Xie said that because 90 percent of data is sent and received from fixed locations, it has been decided that 3G would be supplemented by WIMAX and WIFI technologies. Chinese carrier CECT-Chinacomm is planning to build a 275-square-kilometer wireless Internet network in Beijing, part of the country’s effort to showcase its development during the 2008 summer Olympics. China also plans to roll out in 10 major cities third-generation (3G) cellular networks built on China’s homegrown Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Acess (TD-SCDMA) standard. TD-SCDMA data transmission speeds, however, are substantially below those of rival 3G standards W-CDMA and CDMA2000 and not sufficient to support multimedia applications such as high-quality real-time video.
