Nokia Siemens Networks Aims at 30% of TD-SCDMA
(Comtex Business Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) BEIJING, Apr 05, 2007 (SinoCast China IT Watch via COMTEX) --Nokia Siemens Networks aims to capture a 30 percent share of China's TD-SCDMA market, Christoph Caselitz, head of its Customer and Market Operations, disclosed on April 3.
The company is a joint venture formed lately by Nokia and Siemens through the merger of their network businesses. It has bet big on TD-SCDMA, the China-patented 3G standard.
The goal of 30 percent is ambitious, the head said, but they will stably go ahead towards the goal. Moreover, the venture offers excellent services.
Siemens is one of the developers of the TD-SCDMA standard, and Nokia Siemens Networks will try to take the lead in China's TD-SCDMA market by continuously enhancing its related technology and advantage, Christoph Caselitz stressed.
TD Tech Ltd., a joint venture established by Huawei Technologies and Siemens with a combined investment of USD 100 million in 2004, has taken an active part in the TD-SCDMA bid invited by China Mobile, the biggest mobile carrier in Mainland China.
In the last phase of network tests, TD Tech has given a good performance, and is bound to deliver reliable TD-SCDMA network equipment to operators in the days to come.
TD Tech is expected to capture 50 percent of the orders in the bid, aired Mr. Klaus Maler, the venture's chief executive officer, on March 26 at the ceremony to celebrate its second anniversary.
TD Tech, if winning the current bidding battle, will spare no efforts in working out wireless access systems as quickly as possible along with its parents. Huawei Technologies will send its skilled team to the venture for its TD-CDMA delivery, said Xu Zhijun, chief marketing officer (CMO) of the largest telecom equipment vendor in the Chinese mainland.
Both its parents have vowed to back TD Tech greatly in R&D of TD-SCDMA access systems, and grow the venture into a best player in the TD-SCDMA, disclosed Xu. But the two parents themselves would not participate in the TD-SCDMA access system business any more, under their agreement.
Industry analysts once worried that the integration of Siemens Communications and the network unit of Nokia would block the growth of TD Tech. Obviously, the worry is unnecessary.
Huawei Technologies and Siemens Communications will continue to invest in and support TD Tech in technology R&D concerning the TD-SCDMA network in an effort to speed up the progress of TD-SCDMA technology, as they initially promised, said the CMO.
