Introduction

Abstract

Introduction

2006 has been an important year for Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA), the "home-grown" Chinese 3G standard. This report takes a look at the current development status of TD-SCDMA, including support for TD-SCDMA from the Chinese government and vendors, an in-depth analysis of all past and present TD-SCDMA trials, up to and including the recent TD-SCDMA mass application trials, likely 3G licensing scenarios and subscriber forecasts, and a detailed look at TD-SCDMA' s prospects in the Chinese and overseas markets.

Key questions addressed in this report include:

How much has the Chinese government invested in TD-SCDMA; which departments did this investment come from, and who were the beneficiaries?
Which vendors are co-operating to improve TD-SCDMA technology?
What trials of TD-SCDMA technology have been undertaken; what were the scope, schedule and results of each trial?
Which companies own the critical TD-SCDMA core patents?
What are the likely 3G licensing scenarios in China, and how will these affect TD-SCDMA adoption?
What issues will TD-SCDMA face once commercial networks are constructed?
