The first commercial 3G UMTS network in China is Huawei

.
A few months ago were awarded 3G licenses in China, and was known to have invested over 40 billion dollars between 2009 and 2010 on 3G infrastructure. The first company to install a 3G coverage area was China Unicom, Huawei using UMTS technology.

The installation was done in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China, and the rollout of Huawei includes cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, in April 2009, Huawei will install it quickly to 30% of the UMTS network and HSDPA China Unicom to win a tender.

Yet we know nothing about China Mobile and TD-SCDMA 3G technology, which said it would invest more than 9 billion dollars, or China Telecom and 3G CDMA-2000, where he invested the same. Remember that China already has over 633 million mobile users, representing a 47.3% mobile penetration and thus greater than the number of mobile users across Europe. A very nice market for 3G.

LG pica tip of LTE in the race in USA

. When we already knew that Samsung manufactures its own chips for LTE, or LTE Motorola began testing in the UK, now comes the news that our friend, the FCC has just approved the first device to LTE infrastructure and no less than to LG.


And while much of the documentation filed with the FCC is still confidential at the request of the Korean company has transpired that the equipment is approved by the FCC to operate in the 1700 Mhz band, which will make it even more complicated if this were possible, try to have a team that can communicate beyond the network of your carrier: P

Andalusia way universal charger ...

. We saw during the Mobile World Congress that many manufacturers are betting terminals to develop a universal charger that uses the miniUSB port as power supply (Except Apple, which had not joined the call). In that way we can see a good UnWiredView route of Carphone Warehouse to launch the Eco Charger, a universal charger for Sony Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung.


Eco Charger has the great functionality as well as having multiple connectors, then completely shuts down the terminal is charged to 100%, which the shippers we use today do not and are getting some energy while still plugged into the wall outlet. The charger is priced at $ 33 and ahorarían with this functionality is only in the UK, about 300 million kWh annually, about $ 120 million.

In combination with the cell phone charger ecological dynamics, the tie that charges cell phones, with the load cell range that was introduced in 2008 Innovar Argentina, the portfolio that load cell and Yo-Yo until you load cells are all in search ... ecological and universal charger. We will see this trend clearly moving in the coming months and years.

Obama was taking a difficult test for the mobile network of USA

. It is not something strange that U.S. carriers expect a high level of traffic in mobile networks during the inauguration of Barack Obama as President ... but now say they met the demand with only a few shocks.

But according to AP, most of the participants experienced problems with poor network coverage and text messages that arrived one hour after being sent.

9MM China Mobile will invest in its 3G TD-SCDMA network

.
China is to launch 3G and will be unbeatable when it comes to investment and technology, as it has over 633 million mobile users and many of those millions quickly migrate to 3G.

China Mobile, the largest mobile operator in China, recently announced it will invest 9 billion dollars in new infrastructure for 3G technology TD-SCDMA. According to the reports, China Mobile will install 60,000 base stations in 238 cities in the country throughout 2009 and 2010.

It is estimated to be invested over 40 billion dollars between 2009 and 2010 on infrastructure between the three 3G operators. A whole number, and that will attract and atenciónd major manufacturers.

Samsung will manufacture its own chips 4G, WiMAX and LTE

.
Until now Samsung has been using chips from Qualcomm, Broadcom and Infineon, but has now decided to start manufacturing its own chips for mobile devices in the fourth-generation technologies, WiMAX and LTE.

The market is dominated by Qualcomm, which owns much of the patent applications, and therefore intellectual property, CDMA 3G standard, and that all device manufacturers is costing them dear, because every time pay more royalties to Qualcomm for using computers with these technologies. Another manufacturer, Texas Instruments, a supplier of chips 4G, and Freescale, a supplier of processors for Apple, they decided to get off of these projects and will soon cease to produce or sell their operations.

So Samsung prefers to start manufacturing its own chips and save that money by investing in R & D. Via GigaOm.

Good move for Samsung, Qualcomm bad future?

AT & T will use femtocells to provide more and better services

. Just as did Verizon and Sprint, who saw in the femtocell and a new business opportunity to provide more and better services, now AT & T install cell femtocells in the home of thousands of subscribers from the second quarter of next year.


In this way, AT & T would increase the capacity of services to reduce the number of users per cell phone antenna to improve the speed data and voice quality offered to its subscribers. But it also has some problems such as interference, roaming and roaming, which are in final stage of testing by the two or three brands that are thrown to the production of these access points.

According to a study by ABI Research, by 2011 there will be 102 million users with 32 million femtocells Access Points throughout the world, so we go in thinking that at some point the operators in our region will begin to test this new way of connecting users 3G through the broadband connection, either ADSL or Cable.

3 months ago, LG Nortel demonstrated with the first mobile LTE live with and working with peaks up to 300 mbps.

And now the LG demonstrated the first LTE mobile chip, with dimensions of 13 × 13mm and speeds not as impressive as in the previous test but obviously much higher than the current 60 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload.

In theory, this chip can achieve much higher transfer rates, which actually generates high expectations. Forecasts predict that the first cellular LTE come in 2010 ... so be patient.
