China : Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co, one of China’s leading manufacturers of mobile handsets through its subsidiary CECT, today announced its 3G handset strategy.

As a leading domestic handset manufacturer, CECT has focused on developing and integrating new technologies into handsets that specifically cater to the tastes of local Chinese consumers. In response to the testing and development of China’s TD-SCDMA 3G mobile telecommunications standard, the management of the Company has determined that the time is right to start developing handsets that will be ready for the nationwide roll-out of China’s first 3G network.

The Company plans to release its first TD-SCDMA handset soon. This handset will support new functions and features that will allow users to fully experience 3G content, such as video conferencing and high speed internet. In keeping with the Company’s highly-focused strategy of developing value-added differentiated handsets, this product will also include other appealing features for which CECT has come to be known, such as ultra-long standby, voice recognition, a multimedia player, a high definition camera, and others. CECT also plans to launch a dual SIM card model that supports both TD-SCDMA and traditional GSM standards.

David Li, CEO of Qiao Xing Mobile, commented “CECT’s 3G handset roll-out fits closely with our overall strategy. Differentiated features innovated by CECT, such as ultra-long standby, will be highly advantageous in supporting power-hungry 3G applications and functions. Additionally, recent research by In-Stat determined that TD-SCDMA subscribers will approach 52 million in China by 2011. We believe that our entry into the 3G handset market will allow us to capture an early part of this growth and firmly establish our brand in the space.”
