Trials have already happened with results being mixed. But with a planned role out in conjunction with other technologies for the Olympics next year, a number of crucial questions remain unanswered.

Licenses have not been issued but with contracts already announced are 3G licenses a forgone conclusion?
-Will SK Telecom' s heavy investment in China and TD-SCDMA see the technology move outside of China and take advantage of TDD worldwide?
-Will operators invest heavily in handset acquisition or will the wait till WCDMA integration tests are totally successful?
-What opportunities are still available for external manufacturers and vendors to work with the Chinese manufacturers on TD-SCDMA?
-How will this impact on US and European IP rights and the royalties they earn from current Chinese operations?
-Nokia & Motorola have already committed to TD-SCDMA models but will their commitment continue?
-TD-SCDMA is also very suited to asymmetric data traffic as it is based on the TDD duplexing method. It is expected that TDD will be used a lot more frequently as cellular standards evolve due to the congestion of radio spectrum and the increase in the need for mobile data services - is this true and what will the need for data services be, within China and other TD-SCDMA networks?

According to the findings of this new in-depth report, visiongain reveals that there is currently no need for WCDMA/TD-SCDMA interoperability tests and for the development of mobile terminals that are able to support two 3G standards.

With other standards competing with this for market share how critical will the governments influence continue to be? This report answers that question, with an analysis of other players in the market. It examines the Chinese and international vendors as well as handset manufacturers and their offerings.

The report provides in-depth market analysis upon these areas, and extensively identifies both market opportunities and forecasts. The study also assess' the challenges faced by the relevant companies, and why foreign companies should also pay a part in the development of these Chinese standards.

Why You Must Buy This Report?
This report features tables, graphs and charts, news, insights, the latest developments and an in depth assessment of the TD-SCDMA market with up-to-date analysis. This report is a vital addition to gaining an understanding of this highly profitable market sector and will give your company ' the edge' on your competitors. You can not afford to be without this latest report from visiongain.

Also, the government is in strong favour of the local 3G standard and one of the key reasons why it has delayed 3G licenses for so long is that is waiting for the technology to mature so that it can equally compete with the other two international 3G standards. However government support and pressure cannot provide market success. But ordering this report will seriously help yours, order it now.

The Chinese government was also heavily in favour of China Unicom' s CDMA network but the company currently has significantly more GSM users. The fact that TD-SCDMA will get deployed before the other two 3G standards will help the technology gain an important share of the initial 3G market in China. However as other technologies start to be introduced into the Chinese market it is expected that TD-SCDMA will start to loose its lead in the local 3G market. TD-SCDMA will act more as a stepping stone for Chinese wireless technologies to be more successful in the future as networks move towards 4G.
