Ericsson to Develop TD-SCDMA Technology

Ericsson would develop technology to support new time division-synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) high-speed mobile phone networks in China, the company’s technology chief said Tuesday.

 

Chinese operators are now evaluating different third-generation (3G) technologies, which allow users to transmit pictures and use e-mail through their phones.

 

Ericsson currently has no technology to support TD-SCDMA standards, expected to be one of several mobile network platforms which may be deployed.

 

Ericsson would either develop the technology itself or in partnership with other firms, said Hakan Eriksson, chief technology officer.

 

We will be involved in one way or another, either through partnerships or by developing our own equipment,” he said.

 

Finding a partner to develop the technology, however, may be difficult.

 

I am sure Ericsson will make the right tactical move, but there is no Chinese firm left to create a partnership with and it will be interesting to see if they are able to push someone else out,” said one analyst who declined to be named.

 

Ericsson said it expected a reform of the telecom industry in China this year to trigger the issuing of 3G licenses.
