CHINA UNICOM
This year, China Unicom completed the first
phase of the nationwide rollout of its multibillion
dollar “Horizon” network based on QUALCOMM’s
industry-leading CDMA technology.
China Unicom completed the first phase of its
CDMA network deployment under budget. The
project yielded a network capacity of approxi-
mately 16 million subscribers*.
As part of the second phase of the project,
the entire network is now being upgraded to
CDMA2000 1X. When completed in the second
quarter of 2003, the network will have the
capacity to serve over 31 million subscribers*.
Also this year, China Unicom agreed to
offer BREW applications to a portion of its
subscriber base.
As 2002 drew to a close, more than a billion
dollars in CDMA2000 1X equipment contracts
were awarded to participating vendors including
ZTE, Motorola, Lucent, Nortel and Ericsson.
IT’S HAPPENING IN CHINA
CDMA is growing in China, the world’s largest wireless market. Seventeen domestic Chinese
telecommunications equipment manufacturers are now licensed by QUALCOMM to develop, manufacture
and sell 3G handsets and/or infrastructure equipment.
