LGE passes India's telecom gear standard

LG Electronics said yesterday it has passed India's telecom gear environment standard, moving a step closer to promoting its mobile handset and WLL (wireless local loop) systems there.

The company said it has obtained the standard called "QM-333" from the Technical Engineer Center affiliated with the Department of Telecom in India, for its WLL systems and CDMA (code division multiple access) handsets.

LG, a major CDMA WLL provider in India, said the achievement is expected to accelerate its foray into India's mobile systems and handset market.

All telecom gears in India have to pass the QM-333 standard in order to go into commercial use due to the challenging environmental conditions. The testing takes about six weeks.

"There have been difficulties in getting the QM-333 certification due to the sultry weather and poor telecom infrastructure in India, and the passage means LG's technology has proven its edge," said Kim Bo-yeol, senior researcher at LG Electronics.

The company has an Indian subsidiary, LG Electronics System India Ltd. (LGSYS) in Noida, near Delhi, and a local production line with the capacity to produce 600,000 lines of WLL systems a year. LG Electronics was designated as the prime supplier of WLL systems in India in a deal valued at $240 million.

He said the company's (China Unicom's) CDMA service might be priced at a premium to its GSM service, which is roughly 10 per cent cheaper than the GSM service offered by rival China Mobile (Hong Kong).

I hope they don't price CDMA at a premium to GSM. For voice usage, I cann't see that the consumer would care about the technology; price would become the differentiator.
