Japan is going to be using a proprietary GSM MAP network for their WCDMA networks? Can anyone comment on the GSM baseband network in Japan? As far as I know, the GSM-MAP infrastructure that NTT Docomo will be using is identical to the European version. The only difference could be that Docomo's W-CDMA equipment will be compliant to Release '99 of the W-CDMA standards vs the '00 version. I doubt that there will be major differences.... I believe that Qualcomm's W-CDMA chipsets will also be compliant to Release '99.... Slacker

CREE is acquiring UltraRF from SPCT. SPCT makes high-end, high frequency RF amplifiers for digital base stations. CREE has SiC and other materials that will make the amplifiers even more formidable on the thermal efficiency and foot print fronts (among other areas). These amplifiers are ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for the rollout of 3G. In the CC Management said orders from CHINA are surprisingly strong. This means one thing folks, the rollout is moving forward in China well ahead of anyone's expectations. Oh, what a beautiful day.
