28
last year’s GSM sales volume of 6 million units are underway. In
addition, we are actively preparing 3G handsets to become a leader in
the domestic and global 3G mobile handset market.
This year’s market for telecommunication equipment does not look to
improve much from the past several years. Although the continuation
of industry restructuring seems inevitable due to the decrease in
systems investments by domestic and international wire and wireless
telecommunication companies, our company will leverage our
previously accumulated technological know-how of the W-CDMA
system and next-generation network products to increase profitability.
Everyone at the Telecommunication Equipment & Handsets Company is committed to making this the year
to “Leap to Global Top 3” and we will strive to achieve this goal as early as possible through multi-level
innovative activities. We will become an organization that achieves both growth and profit at the same time
by redoubling each person’s efforts and maximizing our company’s capabilities. Thus, in 2004 we hope to
confirm our status as a “Global Top Player” in the mobile handset market as we continuously advance
toward our goal of becoming a Global Top 3 by 2007.
Thank you.
Head of Telecommunication Equipment & Handset Company, Mun Hwa Park

VX6000 (CDMA handset for US)
Our VX6000 was the first camera handset sold by Verizon. Its
OLED subdisplay offers a clear exterior screen and this MMS
handset supports multi-frame shooting, sticker pictures and
photo-mail service. The VX6000 was highly praised by the US
media, one even called it the “Pocket Jewelry.”
Softswitch
Built for the NGN (Next Generation Network) and BCN (Broadband
Convergence Network) which are the next generation wire and
mobile communication environments, Softswitch is the main brain of
the system that integrates voice, data, and visual services.
Developed in collaboration with KT, we conducted the world’s first
demonstration in December 2003. In terms of signal processing
capacity, Softswitch can process 4~5 times more than the TDX-100
switchboard which is the existing telephone network.
LG-SV130 (CDMA handset for Korea)
This multimedia handset was the first in Korea
to have a 1 hour recording and playback
camcorder. It comes with a high-performing
VGA camera, supports VOD service (1X-EVDO)
and emits 3D sound from its dual speakers.
