Nokia recently revealed its plan to produce phones based on all 3G mobile phone standards available in China, aiming to boost its market presence in China, according to a report by South China Morning Post on September 8. Currently there are three 3G standards available in China, including China's own-developed TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), US-based CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access), and Europe-based WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access).
Of China's main telecom operators, China Mobile has concentrated on developing the TD-SCDMA network, with China Telecom focusing on CDMA2000 service and China Unicom prepared to launch WCDMA service.
