In March 2007, China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Netcom all began to award tenders for TD-SCDMA mobile communications network deployment. The combined value of these tenders -most of which were awarded to ZTE or Datang Mobile -exceeded 20 billion RMB. TD-SCDMA network deployment is now underway in ten Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin. By the end of November 2007, over 90% of the network construction work had been completed in most of the ten cities, setting the stage for the rollout of TD-SCDMA mobile communications service in China after more than five years of preparation. This report will examine the current state of the TD-SCDMA industry in China, the evolution of TD-SCDMA technology, and the supply chain that has taken shape in this segment of the mobile communications sector.
