(MO, Spreadtrum is another infringer)

On August 22, 2004, the electron & information product management department of MII held the achievement report conference of “Chinese chip”in Great Hall of the People in Beijing——the research achievement report of TD-SCDMA core chip.

In April 2004, Spreadtrum developed the first TD-SCDMA dual-mode multi-frequency core chip in the world. This chip is based on TD-SCDMA and it can be used in SoC TD-SCDMA (LCR) and GSM/GPRS. Spreadtrum has mastered the core 3G phone technology and obtained its intellectual property right. This chip has apparent advantages in size, integrity, power consumption and related software system compared with the same type of foreign products. This 3G core chip has the highest integration level in the world at present.

In terms of the cooperation in TD-SCDMA industry chain, Spreadtrum and Datang Mobile have researched the core software for TD-SCDMA phone together. Spreadrum will develop operation system for 3G phone with Datang Mobile and Koretide Shanghai company. Furthermore, Spreadtrum has signed agreement with Bird, Amoi, Hisense and Lenovo to develop TD-SCDMA commercial phone together. And they will produce the real “Made in China” phone by using “Chinese Chip”. And before this, Spreadtrum has produced the TD-SCDMA phone based on its chip with Amoi. Spreatrum said that although this phone is almost the same as GSM phone in shape, it is the minimum and comprehensive terminal in all 3G phones at present. Spreadtrum predicts that they will produce TD-SCDMA terminal commercially in this second half year. The mass commercial production will be realized in the first half year next year.
