Biddings for China Mobile's 8.6 billion yuan (US$1.26 billion) third-phase TD-SCDMA procurement project will start in mid-May, with six China players and two international players including Ericsson and Nokia Siemens Networks bidding against each other, according to market sources.
According to China Mobile's roadmap, the carrier plans to set up TD-SCDMA networks in 200 cities in China before the end of this year compared to the current deployment of such mobile networks in 38 cities. The third-phase procurement project calls for the purchase a total of 39,000 TD-SCDMA base stations.
Since the domestic players in China had grabbed over 80% of China Mobile's TD-SCDMA equipment orders released in the two previous procurement projects, the six China players – ZTE, Huawei Technologies, Datang Telecom Technology, China Putian Information Technology, FiberHome Technologies and New Postcom Equipment – are also expected to land the majority of TD-SCDMA orders this time, according to market sources in China and Taiwan.
