LG Electronics’ CDMA technologies recognized by world telecom leaders. Stronger position as a world’s first CDMA developer and active domestic development of global CDMA standard expected.
Dr. Byung-kwan Lee, an Executive Researcher (Vice President) at LG Electronics telecommunication equipment & handset company, was appointed as a chairman of TSG-C (Technical Specification Groups - CDMA2000) in the 3GPP2 meeting in China last week. For the next 2 years, he will lead TSG-C in developing the global standard of CDMA2000 handset and networks, and will represent 3GPP2 in its meetings with 3GPP or other UMTS/WCDMA standard development organizations. 3GPP2 was established in 1999 with a goal of setting global standards of 3G CDMA system or CDMA2000 mobile technologies. By participating in various standard development organizations in the U.S., Japan, China and Korea, 3GPP2 has worked on the global standards for improving wireless connection technologies, applying new multimedia services such as MMS and developing IP systems for all the networks. His appointment means that the world mobile communication industry recognizes LG Electronics for its active development of CDMA mobile communications’ standards and will consolidate Korea’s position as the world’s first developer of CDMA. Lucent Technology has chaired 3GPP2 TSG-C for the last 4 years. For the new chairmanship, LG Electronics was selected after an uphill battle with Ericsson.
