<Once China embraces CDMA technology, some experts predict that other Asian countries, such as Thailand and Taiwan, may follow China's lead when they upgrade their networks. Indonesia is also reported to be actively considering the adoption of CDMA technology and is in contact with Korean government officials and companies. (KHR)> $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$! Hey Gus!

Bluetooth Gets Another Chance With Ericsson, Qualcomm WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 02, 2000 11:53 PM - Phillips Business Information Feb. 02, 2000 (WIRELESS TODAY, Vol. 4, No. 21 via COMTEX) -- What started as a litigious feud over CDMA intellectual property rights between Qualcomm [QCOM] and Ericsson [ERICY] continued blossoming in the direction of cooperation today (2/2) in an agreement to develop technology supporting both the Bluetooth and CDMA standards for manufacturers. Under this agreement, Ericsson's Microelectronics unit will develop a Bluetooth-compatible radio unit, and Qualcomm's CDMA Technologies unit will develop Bluetooth baseband processing to be integrated into its mobile station modem chipsets and software. The companies will promote their integrated technologies to makers of wireless handsets and other mobile devices. Bluetooth is a global standard for short-range radio technology developed by a special interest group founded by IBM [IBM], Intel [INTL], Nokia [NOK], Toshiba and Ericsson. It is intended to move voice and data transmissions easily and quickly between mobile devices, including laptop and handheld computers, as well as phones. While Bluetooth backers touted the technology's potential when development began in 1998, their work has produced few results. Ericsson and Qualcomm execs, of course, say their new collaboration will change that. "The true promise of wireless technology lies in its ability to expand the potential of personal appliances," said Bo Andersson, vice president and general manager of Ericsson Microelectronics. "This has been the driving force behind Ericsson's work in pioneering the Bluetooth technology." "We will drive to expand the number of applications possible by tightly integrating Bluetooth with CDMA technology," said Johan Lodenius, Qualcomm CDMA Technologies' senior vice president of marketing and product management. Likely Bluetooth capabilities include automatic downloading and synchronizing between wireless handset desktop PCs, or transmitting digital images to office-based computer systems via handsets. Bluetooth technology also would enable handsets to be used as office intercoms, as well as a mobile phone that works in remote locations. Copyright Phillips Publishing, Inc.
