DBDM 3G ASICs (Korea) Slacker, Pursuant to your discussion with engineer ... Korea is coming on very strong and rapidly with WCDMA/HSPA at SKT and KTF in the 2.1 GHz IMT-2000 core band and have converted ~25% of Korea's subscriber base from 1xRTT/DO to WCDMA/HSPA. Initial attempts at launching WCDMA/HSPA service in Korea yielded little success and a handful of subscriber in the first 2½ years of buildout. Initially they attempted using DBDM handsets even though QUALCOMM pulled the plug on their 1st announced integrated DBDM ASIC. I had initially assumed that the recent success of WCDMA/HSPA was due to Samsung and LG using a newer QUALCOMM DBDM 3G ASIC. Evidently that is not the case. From what I can ascertain watching this only peripherally, and although Samsung and LG are using QUALCOMM ASICs they are, so far as I know, using strictly SBSM WCDMA/HSPA ASICs, and I don't think either operator has a dual RAN multi-frequency service offer although the RANs share a common billing system. I'm not aware of DBDM ASICs in use anywhere. You probably watch this closer than I do. Does my observation jibe with yours? Engineer might also wish to comment. - Eric -
