Since China Mobile began to launch TD wireless phone across China earlier in this year, the core vendors which involoved in R&D projects are ZTE, Huawei, Datang Telecom, Legend Mobile, XYT, and DESAY. There are seven vendors in total. Most of them confirmed to MicroVoip’s reporter that they will attend the bid of this project.
On 24th of November, China mobile will start TD wireless phone R&D project, which has been invested 0.4 billion RMB in total. Besides, this is the first incentive policy for the China Mobile proposed “3+1” TD terminal strategy. It is not only encourage the positivity and confidence of vendors in the industry chain, but also expose the ambition of China Mobile who intend to occupy fixed-line enterprises market.
Qiang Bai, Marketing Manager of Datang Telecom (Tianjin) Co.Ltd believes: “ We are quite confident to this bid, and we already made several application design proposals for the backup. ” Within the recent two months, Datang Telecom already sold out over 30 million TD wireless phones, even out of supply in many cities. “It is beyond our expectation of this year’s wireless phone sales volume.”
According to the introduction of TD wireless phone chip supplier, since the second half of this year, TD wireless phone market became the driving energy to the whole company revenue. The accumulated shipments of chips is over 0.3 million.
Internal sources from China Mobile shows, from the setepmber of this year, the subsidiary telecom companies in each province across China enhanced the promotion efforts. The feedback was gater than expectation. “In some extremely demanding markets, due to the lack of products, we even need to buy products from the vendors.”
