Break the monopoly of foreign domestic 3G mobile phone sprouting Chinese core

China made mobile phone no core technology history will be rewritten, working status of Chinese mobile phone manufacturers in the industry chain will also be changed. On the eve of the upcoming 3G, China's independent innovation TD-SCDMA standard industrialization process is only one step away from commercial, five chip manufacturers have made significant progress in research and development. In cooperation with mobile phone manufacturers, has developed more than and 20 TD-SCDMA terminals, a comprehensive commercial just around the corner.

Core technology breakthrough group

Data show that in 2003 the global IC design industry output value of $24 billion 200 million, China accounted for only 2.4% of the global share. In the communications industry, the lack of "core" become a bottleneck for further development of Chinese enterprises, especially in the terminal, such as waveguide, TCL, because they do not grasp the chip of nuclear technology in the industrial chain to the upper end is still unable to become a leading enterprise. At present, the communications industry has become the largest field of IC applications, enhance the design capability of China's chips, the communications industry is an unavoidable problem. 3G offers China a golden opportunity. Analysts believe that, if no accident, China 3G licensing time should be at the end of this year or early next year.

For China proposed TD SCDMA standard, the terminal is the key to determine the success of the commercial market factors into. In the previous TD-SCDMA summit or seminar, the Telecommunications Research Institute of the Ministry of information industry have said about the TD-SCDMA test is good, but the terminal behind the system maturity.

For a period of time, become the bottleneck of TD terminal SCDMA industrialization process. With the advent of licensing, TD - SCDMA chips and terminals increasingly mature. The end of the field test in the middle of the year TD SCDMA, involved in the development of chip companies T3G, Spreadtrum, Kaiming, ADI have been achieved at least 128K rate, T3G and Spreadtrum has achieved a 384K high speed packet data transmission, and cyit and HOLLEY's upcoming commercial products.

TD SCDMA Industry Alliance Secretary General Yang Hua said the media communication will be convened on June, as long as there is a chip to reach the standard, it proved that TD SCDMA chip is no problem. In the dual mode, Spreadtrum developed GSM/GPRS and TD-SCDMA wireless communication baseband chip technology, using T3G GSM/GPRS and TD-SCDMA terminal core chip, system hardware and software development, the application of multimedia technology, has been able to provide commercial products TDSCDMA/GSM/GPRS dual-mode terminal manufacturers. Although several companies involved in the development of R & D speed is not exactly the same, but it can be predicted that by the end of this year, most chip companies can launch commercial chips and terminal solutions.

China chip companies rise

Compared with Intel, TI, Motorola, STMicroelectronics, AMD and other international well-known enterprises to participate in the TD chip, Chinese SCDMA chip technology R & D enterprises obviously are much younger. T3G was founded in the end of 2002, by Philip semiconductor, Datang Mobile, Samsung and Motorola joint venture, its purpose is to develop TD-SCDMA chip.

Spreadtrum technology study in July 2001 by China created, engaged in development and sales of a new generation of wireless communication integrated circuit and system, after TD in persuading the SCDMA industry alliance, to enter the TD SCDMA chip development, join the industry alliance in December 2003.

Kaiming company was established in the Ministry of information industry of promotion in December 2002, Datang, Putian, TI shareholders etc.. Although earlier Chongqing College of Post and Telecom technical cooperation with Datang, but is committed to chip R & D cyit established in 2003.

Although the establishment is not long, but the time several chip companies two years in chip technology have achieved a major breakthrough, not only the technical standards written into reality available products, but also Hisense, and Amoi, Envada, Dibit, Lenovo, Haier and other terminal manufacturers together, on the sidelines in the test, and achieved excellent results. It is understood that, in order to make their own R & D walk in front of the industrialization process of TD-SCDMA completed several chip enterprise R & D personnel in all their time and energy. Whether it is an ordinary weekend or may, eleven golden holiday, all R & D staff overtime. A director of TD SCDMA, the deputy director of the research often in the early morning and after dinner to TD - SCDMA R & D enterprises inspection, almost every time to see the lights in the laboratory. After accelerating development, several chip companies and the whole industry in the process of TD-SCDMA keep pace, this is the first time through the China national enterprises from standard to research and development to product process, which means that Chinese is stepping into the international advanced level of communication industry. T3G's chief technology officer Yang Daijun said in June, after this training, we have developed a standard experience, the fourth generation, fifth generation mobile communications are not completely heteronomy.

Rewrite industry layout

From the beginning of 1999, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers began to break the international brand in the Chinese market monopoly, through low-cost and localized marketing means, from foreign brands seized a large number of consumers, in 2003, China brand market share reached 60%. However, this advantage will soon be foreign brands of the offensive strategy of ablation. In the low-end market, international brands on the one hand to change the marketing model, on the one hand to launch low-cost mobile phone only tens of dollars, to regain the low-end market; in the high-end market, Motorola, NOKIA through the introduction of high technology content such as intelligent mobile phone, mobile phone
