CDMA Scores In Australia> Korean Telecom Firms Win Contract To Operate PCS Network In Australia Korea Economic Daily A group of Korean telecom equipment makers and operators has been selected to be partners for a telecom project with Hutchison Australia, providing mobile telephone services based on latest personal communication service (PCS) technology. Samsung Electronics, main contractor of the telecom project, values the deal at $210 million. Under the contract, Samsung Electronics, KT Freetel and Hansol PCS will jointly help to equip Hutchison Australia with digital code division multiple access (CDMA) facilities for its own PCS services in Sydney and Melbourne due to start in 2001. The three Korean firms will also exclusively participate in the operation and maintenance of the PCS telephone network for eight years after the launch of the commercial services. Samsung Electronics dubbed the telecom project as a wedding of Korean firms' high-level technological standards for CDMA-based PCS and the advanced marketing capabilities of a foreign telecom company. Korea is the first in the world offering CDMA mobile services on a commercial basis. Hutchison Australia plans to begin servicing residents in Sydney and Melbourne with CDMA-based PCS services by April of 2001. ( The Korea Economic Weekly 1999/03/03 )
