Nokia and ST-Ericsson have announced a long-term partnership in the area of TD-SCDMA technology and solutions.
As part of the partnership, Nokia will be using ST-Ericsson as a key supplier of chipset platforms in its Symbian-based TD-SCDMA devices and solutions portfolio.
The partnership with ST-Ericsson will take Nokia’s industry leading involvement with the TD-SCDMA standard to the next level – enhancing both companies’ leadership position in China’s mobile market and creating a compelling user experience for Chinese consumers.
Nokia has made firm commitments to TD-SCDMA development. Last month, the company launched the Nokia 6788, its first Symbian-based TD-SCDMA phone, and announced the creation of a dedicated TD-SCDMA R&D team in Beijing.
ST-Ericsson, a global leader in wireless platforms and semiconductors, is playing a leading role in China’s TD-SCDMA development. The company, through its Chinese subsidiary T3G, has been dedicated to the creation of new TD-SCDMA technology and devices for more than six years.
About TD-SCDMA
TD-SCDMA (time division synchronous code division multiple access) is a 3G mobile telephone standard developed by the China Academy of Telecommunications Technology (CATT).
TD-SCDMA combines support for both circuit-switched data, such as speech or video, and packet-switched data from the Internet. The standard combines time division multiple access (TDMA) with an adaptive, synchronous-mode code division multiple access (CDMA) component.
