PARIS-Alcatel Corp. and Datang Mobile, a telecom equipment developer, said they are ready to deliver end-to-end TD-SCDMA products after completing the industrialization phase and jointly demonstrating a live end-to-end TD-SCDMA solution in April during the TD-SCDMA International Summit in Beijing.
TD-SCDMA is one of three third-generation standards licensed by the International Telecommunication Union in 2000. The other two standards are W-CDMA and CDMA2000.
“As a Chinese company with international scope, we are proud to play a vital role in ensuring the timely introduction of China’s homegrown 3G standards,” said Gerard Dega, president of Alcatel Shanghai Bell. “Through a close partnership with Datang Mobile, we are well positioned to support our customers in China’s 3G market regardless of the standard they decide to adopt.”
Alcatel’s participation in the cooperative effort is through Alcatel Shanghai Bell.
Tang Ru’an, president of Datang Mobile, added, “Industrialization represents a major step forward in achieving commercial deployment of TD-SCDMA. As a pioneer of TD-SCDMA technology, we will be able to keep our commitment to bring a commercialized TD-SCDMA solution to the industry. The cooperation between Alcatel and Datang Mobile on industrialization will push the success of TD-SCDMA in China.”
