Chunghwa Telecom opens bidding for CDMA system Source: The Tiawan Economic News news.cens.com Taipei, Jan. 4, 2000 (CENS)--The state-run Chunghwa Telecom will open the bidding process for its code division multiple access (CDMA) procurement contract this month. The lucrative contract is expected to lure leading suppliers of telecommunication equipment. Chunghwa plans to replace its analog cellular system with a CDMA-based system offering a blazing transmission rate of up to 114kbps. Chunghwa expects to begin offering the system in July 2001. About 500,000 subscribers now use Chunghwa's advanced mobile phone (AMP) analog systems. The digital CDMA system will use part of the frequency spectrum now allocated to the AMP system and return the 12GHz frequency to the overseeing Directorate General of Telecommunication (DGT), Ministry of Transportation & Communications. The DGT originally planned to issue one more CDMA cellular-service license after the frequency range is released. However, the agency may now abandon the plan to prevent criticism that the island's CDMA cellular-service market is opened to only one private operator. The DGT has not yet decided whether or not to issue the license at once and will discuss the issue during a meeting on Taiwan's third-generation cellular telecommunications. The DGT plans to release licenses for third-generation cellular service in 2003. The CDMA system will very likely become the standard of Taiwan's third-generation cellular telecommunications. Chunghwa Telecom plans to adopt the yet-to-be commercialized IS-95C CDMA standard, which offers transmission speed at up to 114kbps, far faster than the 9.6kbps provided by the digital GSM system. The telephone carrier will use the 64kbps specification until the 114kbps system hits the market. Motorola, Alcatel, Lucent, Samsung, LG, Hyundai, and Ericsson have all expressed an interest in bidding for the CDMA contract. ((LPM)) === Chunghwa Telecom is on Tiawan and not the mainland. Does anyone know how IS-95C differs from IS-95B? Nokia is not in the running for this contract.
