China to spend $1.81 bln on CDMA network-paper
Tue Feb 13 06:02:00 EST 2001

BEIJING, Feb 13 (Reuters) - China Unicom Group plans to
invest 15 billion yuan ($1.81 billion) in building a national
mobile phone network that uses Qualcomm Inc`s CDMA
technology, a state-published newspaper said on Tuesday.
If confirmed, the figure would mark the first concrete
projection of the scope of the planned network and paint a
clearer picture of the potential profits for U.S.-based Qualcomm
and manufacturers of CDMA (code division multiple access)
equipment and handsets.
The China Daily Business Weekly attributed the figure to Li
Zhengmao, executive chairman of Unicom`s Hong Kong-listed
subsidiary, China Unicom Ltd .
The money would be used to expand Unicom Group`s existing
CDMA network from a handful of cities to 160 cities this year
with total capacity for 10 million subscribers, the China Daily
aricle said.
An official at the parent company told Reuters he was unsure
whether 15 million yuan was an accurate projection.
"I`m not sure where that figure is coming from, so I cannot
say whether or not it is correct," said Zhang Fan, general
manager of mobile business for Unicom.
China Unicom Group announced last October it would build a
network based on the standard, using a small CDMA network it
subsequently took over from the military as its starting point.
Unicom has yet to invite bids from Chinese and overseas
equipment vendors for contracts to expand the network.
Qualcomm, which pioneered the standard, stands to earn
royalties on sales of CDMA equipment and handsets, although it
negotiated smaller royalties from Chinese equipment makers than
from vendors in other countries as an incentive for China to
embrace the standard.
Several North American companies, including Nortel Networks
Corp , Lucent Technologies Inc and Motorola Inc
manufacture CDMA equipment, as do several South Korean,
Japanese and Chinese firms.
Unicom`s listed subsidiary would have the right to take
control of the CDMA network if it is profitable, but is not
participating in the investments to build the network, company
officials have said.
China Unicom Group and its subsidiary have a combined 20
million mobile phone subscribers, or about 22 percent of the more
than 85 million users in China, with giant rival China Mobile
Communications Corp commanding the difference.
Practically all Chinese mobile phone networks operate on the
GSM (global system for mobile communications) standard -- a rival
technology backed by European firms.
While GSM dominates most markets, CDMA networks have some
advantages: the technology uses airwaves more efficiently and is
potentially cheaper to upgrade into future-generation networks
capable of high-speed Internet service.
