WCDMA is one of two main 3G standards, along with Code Division Multiple Access 2000 1x, or CDMA-2000 1x, which is being deployed by some American and Asian operators.

The Swedish company, the world's largest supplier of equipment for cell-phone networks, said it has shipped WCDMA base stations to more than 35 operator customers in 24 countries. It believes it has a 40% market share in WCDMA, measured by estimated order values.

The 3G networks will provide new capacity for operators, allowing them to offer high-speed data services. European operators, though, have slowed their 3G launch plans in recent months, concerned about a lack immediate demand.
