Japan's KDDI Begins Trials of Qualcomm Cell-Phone Tech Dow Jones Newswires TOKYO -- Japan's KDDI said Thursday that it has started field trials in Tokyo of Qualcomm Inc.'s (QCOM) High Data Rate (HDR) technology aimed at launching high-speed Internet connection services to cellphone handsets. KDDI, the Japanese telecommunications group that will emerge from the planned merger of DDI Corp. (J.DDD or 9433), KDD Corp. (J.KDD or 9431) and IDO Corp. (J.NTS) later this year, plans to conduct field trials from late July through to December, it said. Hitachi Ltd. (HIT or 6501), Qualcomm and Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) are also participating in the trials, KDDI said. Kyocera Corp. (KYO or 6971) and Sony Corp. (SNE or 6758) have been lined up to develop cellphone handsets that support the HDR technological format, KDDI added. Senior company executives speaking at a press briefing in Tokyo said that KDDI is aiming to launch commercial cellphone services in Japan using the HDR format. However, they declined to say when such services are likely to start. Hiroshi Nakai, general manager of DDI's mobile communications engineering division, noted that HDR offers the promise of low-cost access to full Internet services via cellphone handsets. The online services currently offered by Japanese cellphone companies including NTT DoCoMo Inc.'s (J.NTX or 9437) hugely popular i-mode only provide access to content within proprietary networks. -By Ian Messer, Dow Jones Newswires; 813-5255-2929; ian.messer@dowjones.com
