China Ushers in Era of 3G Cooperation

After Europe-based 3G carriers reached an agreement on China's 3G standards, US-based 3G carriers finally compromised and are now inclined to cooperate with China's local 3G standards.

Yesterday, it was learned from the TD-SCDMA Forum that the CDMA Development Group (CDG) representing US-based 3G carriers has been participating in negotiations with the forum on details of cooperation. Because of the great prospect of China's telecom market, US-based 3G carriers, which used to keep a distance to the Chinese market, have become more willing to make strategic compromises.

 

At present, there are three mainstream 3G standards, including Europe-based WCDMA, US-based CDMA 2000 and China's local TD-SCDMA. The GSM Association represents the interests of Europe-based 3G carriers, while the CDG advocates for US-based service providers.

 

Last June, the GSM Association announced openly that it had signed a cooperation agreement with China's TD-SCDMA to help China introduce its technology into the international market, a milestone in the development of China's national 3G industry.

 

China's national 3G standard is now undergoing a special test. From Apr. 26th to the 27th of this year, the 2005 International TD-SCDMA Summit will be held in Beijing. The TD-SCDMA Forum is excited about a registration rush for the summit. Many overseas carriers will be able to see the first comprehensive demonstration of TD-SCDMA for commercial use at the summit.
