China: TD-SCDMA Standard Gains More Vendor Support WMRC Dec 18, 2003 Catapult Communications, a US-based supplier of digital test systems to global vendors and operators such as Lucent, Nortel, NTT DoCoMo and NEC, has announced its support for the time division-synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) standard. TD-SCDMA is China's home-grown third-generation (3G) standard jointly developed by Siemens and the Chinese Academy for Telecommunications Technology (CATT). By utilising time division duplex (TDMA/TDD) technology with an adaptive CDMA component, TD-SCDMA employs Smart Antenna and Joint Detection to provide better bandwidth management. Significance: Although TD-SCDMA technology is regarded as inferior to and less mature than either CDMA2000-based or wideband-code division multiple access (W-CDMA) 3G technologies, the Chinese Ministry of Information Industry (MII) has made it mandatory for all six major mobile operators to test the standard in 2004. It is likely TD-SCDMA will play a complementary role in the Chinese 3G market. Given the high hopes for the world's largest market and state support for the TD-SCDMA standard, it is unsurprising that Catapult is embracing it as a sure way to improve its Asian prospects.
