Chinese Backed 3G Wireless Standard Optimization

Symena announced that it is committed to developing an optimization tool for
TD-SCDMA 3G standard.The standard has received a substantial allocation of spectrum in China and several Chinese manufacturers have announced their intention to build equipment for the network.

TD-SCDMA requires Smart Antennas on every base station in the network.Smart
Antennas in TD-SCDMA are particularly useful in extending the range of base stations
in infrastructure poor areas.

Symena ’s core expertise is in the optimal deployment of Smart Antennas in mobile
phone networks.By combining this expertise with Symena ’s network optimisation
product,Symena is well placed to provide a valuable contribution to the development
of what will shortly be the world ’s biggest single mobile phone market,China.
“Smart Antennas present special challenges in network planning because their
behaviour is several times more complex to model than conventional antennas,” said
Dr Thomas Neubauer,Managing Director of Symena.

The TD-SCDMA network optimization product will be designated Capesso ™ Red..
“Symena recently announced the differentiation of its conventional and Smart
Antenna optimization products as Capesso ™ Blue and Capesso ™ Orange,,” said
Christopher Millhouse,Business Development Manager for Symena.“In keeping with
the colours theme we thought that Capesso ™ Red was clearly the most auspicious
hue for TD-SCDMA.”

Capesso ™ Red will incorporate both a highly efficient Smart Antenna modelling
engine as well as automated network optimization.This functionality derives from Dr
Neubauer ’s work on network optimization.He was recently awarded the prestigious Dr
Ernst Fehrer Prize from the Vienna University of Technology for his work on “UMTS
System Simulation with Smart Antennas.”
