SinoCast China - It is reported that China Telecom Fujian branch is secretly testing the CDMA 2000 in Quanzhou City of Fujian Province. Execs of Fujian Telecom say the company may get 3G license this year, but it is worrying about the State Government would designate China Telecom to choose TD-SCDMA of Datang Telecommunications. So, head of the company is hoping to choose the communications standard freely by negotiating with the Ministry of Information Industry. Now the company is testing the CDMA2000 that is not the upgrade of 2.5G PHS base stations. CDMA2000 is American 3G standard that adopted by China Unicom. China Group, the parents company of China Mobile, may adopt European WCDMA to upgrade its current GPRS networks. China Telecom (HK: 0728) is to purchase its 5 provincial branches from 6 candidates. Up to now, no Chinese telecom carriers adopt Datang's TD-SCDMA. Copyright (C) 2003 SinoCast, All rights reserved |
