Unified telecom standards supported CHINA supports the convergence of different standards for third-generation mobile telecommunications and plans to commercialize the system between the years 2002 and 2003, an information industry official said yesterday in Beijing. "The Chinese Government actively participates in the standardization process of third-generation mobile telecommunication systems. We have offered our technology and proposals to that end," said Wen Ku, vice-director of the science and technology department with the Ministry of Information Industry (MII). Wen was talking at the 17th Meeting of the 8/1 Task Group with the Radio Committee of The International Telecommunications Union (ITU-R). The 12-day routine meeting is to discuss and define detailed parameters to be used to set standards for third-generation mobile telecommunications, also called IMT-2000. The final proposal will be set and approved in October this year at the last meeting of the 8/1 Task Group. In an effort to standardize technologies related with third-generation mobile telecommunication systems, the ITU has started evaluating various standards since 1985 and has received 15 different proposals by last June. China, with the world largest mobile phone market potential, plays a key role in the standardization drive. In June last year, China submitted a technology standard proposal (TD-SCDMA) to the ITU in an attempt to gain a position in future standardization procedures related to IMT-2000. However, the ITU failed to reach a uniform set of standards because of various interests represented by world telecom giants. The typical candidate standards are the Wideband-Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) favoured by European and Japanese companies, and the CDMA2000 supported by North American companies.
