Eight Chinese Companies to Develop CDMA

BEIJING (June 8) XINHUA - Eight Leading Chinese mobile communications
equipment producers signed research and development agreements with the American
Qualcomm Corp. on intellectual property rights of CDMA (Code Division Multi
Address) to improve the localization of the technology. According to today's China
Daily, the eight companies include Beijing-based Datang Telecom and Capital,
Shenzhen-based Huawei Technology and Zhongxing Telecom, Hangzhou-based
Eastcom, Jinan- based HiSense Group and Langchao group, Shanghai Lawton
Technology Group.
As licensees of Qualcomm, the Chinese companies are expected to develop CDMA
handsets and base station prototypes based on the IS- 95 A/B and 3G (third generation)
1X Multi-carrier standards.
The agreement also provides option to secure commercial licenses of such products at
any time during the term of the research and development agreement, the paper said.
China Unicom, the second biggest domestic mobile communication operator, had
planned to provide CDMA services this summer after the State Council authorized it last
year to solely construct and operate a CDMA network in the country.
Qualcomm is said to be the biggest winner from the deal, which has long been interested
in entering China, the Daily said.
