Beijing reported this reporter Guo Dongying



May 21 at 16:00, Haidian District, Beijing Hailong Building, west of a large building, ZTE senior vice president with other six had Xuezhong, vice president-level executives appeared, although here and Beijing ZTE are blue glass curtain wall building shape, but it is building China Putian. Hou Weigui in Putian, together with the previously Ericsson and Datang Telecom Technology & Industry Holdings Limited ("Datang") signed cooperation agreement that 4G, in fact, opened a new division combined TD camp prelude to this one Ericsson Putian and the protagonist is.



Hou Weigui strange to show up Putian



Datang, ZTE, Ericsson, Prudential is TD-SCDMA system equipment, the eight members of the camp, one of both independent research and development before production of TD-SCDMA system equipment.



Hou Weigui in Putian Why? Later it was learned that day, Hou Weigui is to present both sides Putian signing ceremony of a cooperation agreement, the agreement greatly, the former Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (later turned into a Ministry of Information Industry) Minister, Ministry of Industry and Technology Secretary, Wu, China Mobile executives have attended related, Hou Weigui and China Putian Xing Wei, Chairman and President were also present.



According to insiders say the two sides signed the cooperation of the content, the surface is difficult to understand, the agreement said, "Both sides will give full play to their advantages in resources, in the communications industries to promote the development, production, system integration and engineering services and comprehensive cooperation", which has said: "The two sides will TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE fields as a starting point."



However, informed sources, the fact that ZTE and Putian started TD system devices together, Putian although in the forthcoming bidding of China Mobile TD four independent bid, but will mainly ZTE's TD-SCDMA system equipment .



Before, TD system equipment has three OEM business, the New Post-pass, Fiberhome, Shanghai Bell, Datang equipment used, their construction; another two joint venture by both TD communications equipment, namely Huawei and Noci However, ZTE, Ericsson, Prudential and are based on independent research and development facilities, an independent bid, and this is clearly the pattern of cooperation between firms in turn greatly changed.



Datang, Ericsson dwell on hand



In fact, the change has already started in April this year.



April 21, Ericsson announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Datang to jointly develop, including TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE TDD, including solutions. The industry was interpreted as two meanings: First, Ericsson and Datang will jointly develop TD-LTE; the other is no longer self-developed TD Ericsson in 3G era equipment, which mainly Datang TD-SCDMA system equipment, integrated into its own 3G mobile communication as a whole solution.



And Putian, like Ericsson's TD layout and external partnerships have been highly variable, in 2007, China Mobile, one TD in the tender, Ericsson joint bid with ZTE, ZTE's TD equipment actually used; in 2008 and 2009 In Phase II and III of China Mobile TD tender, Ericsson twice to bid on a fully independent status.



"Ericsson TD in the first few tender of unsatisfactory results, target was not met, the tender and the 2010 TD 4 TD-LTE in the future, Ericsson decided to cooperate with Datang, which is obviously a wise move, because if further cooperation with ZTE, the two obvious conflict of interest, while Datang TD equipment than other 3G systems do not engage in outside equipment, Ericsson does not constitute a direct threat. "Tang said an insider so.



May 17, President of Ericsson China and North Asia Mats H Olsson also dwell on the matter, he said: "It is not convenient at this stage to talk about the cooperation with Datang, I can say is that we and Datang cooperation is a strategic positioning, it is not just a simple OEM. The scope of cooperation to cover the TDD technology, which includes TD-LTE and TD-SCDMA. "



The World Expo in TD-LTE actually a cutting-edge demonstration sites and the vendors demonstrate their prowess position, Huawei's TD-LTE demonstration was full of cars cruising in the park, Datang, Motorola, Noci's TD-LTE equipment, each clinging to some stadiums. Ericsson's TD-LTE system equipment is deployed in the Expo Hall in Sweden.



Why not for the main stadium in China Mobile to deploy Information and Communication Center Demo TD-LTE network, Mats H Olsson said: "The main reason is that it is the development of TD-LTE in a early stage, our system is the limited number of platforms. We There are two platforms, a set of field tests done in Beijing, and China Mobile, and it is with the Ministry of Industry and done, and the other is a museum in Sweden. We have been actively involved in supporting China Mobile's TD-LTE development and construction. "



Layout TD four parties bidding



And TD-LTE finished



TD 4 alliance camp reorganization, the parties have confidence, because the real TD equipment manufacturers to provide only three, in the calculation of own shares, can independently calculate its share bid, but also to use their own equipment Partners share count, the number of various statements certainly have a better look.



However, the co-makers are also ambitious.



May 17, in the TD-LTE Summit, the vice president of Datang Telecom Group, Chen Shan-chi said: "TD-LTE will not only business in China, Datang Telecom Group will also focus on the areas surrounding Japan, Korea, and Europe and the United States market and other global markets, and use regional economic integration growing, Japan and South Korea take the lead in actively promoting the deployment of TD-LTE, and also to promote TD-LTE to the global market. "



Mats H Olsson said that Ericsson is not aimed at four tender TD, but TD-LTE, he said: "Ericsson is now China's largest mobile GSM network equipment suppliers, and in the TD-SCDMA field, we share relatively small. In TD-LTE field, if China Mobile well-prepared to evolve their networks, we also want to be one of their main suppliers, as in TD-LTE, we have a lot of advantage. "



He believes that, TD-SCDMA is currently only in the Chinese market, while Ericsson is expected that it would have been deployed worldwide, Ericsson is the global market advantage; Secondly, in the field of TD-LTE, Ericsson does not TD-SCDMA as the field entered as the timing was too late, and now Ericsson LTE is already a leader in the field of the.



Informed sources, since September last year, the Ministry of Industry and China Mobile have been small-scale near Shunyi TD-LTE field test, each room through the TD-LTE test vendors have begun to participate in all field trials. It is reported that this year, the test is expected to expand into a larger-scale field trials.
