Unicom's CDMA Service to Provide Alternative to GSM in China URL : nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com December 15, 1999 (BEIJING) -- China's Unicom will provide nationwide mobile communications services via a code division multiple access cellular network by next summer to offer China's mobile phone customers an alternative to the GSM system, according to a recent report. Company officials said that the installation of the CDMA network will begin early next year. Tan Xinghui, general manager of China Unicom's planning and marketing department, noted that the company is evaluating bids made on projects by 12 domestic and foreign telecom companies which could produce equipment based on the CDMA mobile system. "Bid winners will be announced in January next year and the first phase construction will be completed the following summer," said Tan. Foreign suppliers engaged in joint ventures with CDMA manufacturing capabilities in China will get priority in the bidding, said Lu Jianguo, vice president of China Unicom. So far, Nortel Networks Corp. and Motorola Inc. have formal CDMA joint ventures in China. Lucent also has the capability in its local joint venture. Earlier this year, China Unicom announced plans to invest RMB7 billion (US$843 million) to establish a nationwide CDMA network with an initial capacity of 2 million lines. Unicom was recently authorized by the State Council to be the sole negotiator dealing with CDMA -related matters ranging from intellectual property rights purchases and joint venture proposals, according to Lu.
