China's homegrown 3G standard ready?
The People's Daily reported on Friday that China's TD-SCDMA technology has reached a stage where it can be used to offer 3G services.
"China has been able to produce the desired result of the TD-SCDMA standard in a short time," said a Ministry of Information Industry official, quoted by the newspaper.
China's homegrown 3G standard known as TD-SCDMA will be competing with CDMA2000 and WCDMA international standards. By promoting local 3G standards China wants to cut down licensing costs in manufacturing 3G infrastructure, cell phones and mobile devices.
3G wireless systems are designed to move data at broadband speeds to cell phones and other mobile devices, allowing Web surfing, video streaming and downloads of music, video and other content.
