Chinese 3G Handset Using Japanese Software
As China prepares to roll-out its third-generation digital phone service, Japan's ACCESS Co. has announced that Hisense Communication, a major handset manufacturer in China has selected ACCESS' NetFront Mobile Client Suite for deployment in its Hisense HT28, a trial handset for TD-SCDMA networks. HT28 is a dual-mode (TD-SCDMA/GPRS) handset which has deployed NetFront Mobile Client Suite including ACCESS' NetFront browser, MMS client, JV-Lite2 Java virtual machine and POP3/SMTP client.
TD-SCDMA is the Chinese home grown 3G standard among the three international 3G standards. The on going TD-SCDMA pre-commercial tests will have a direct impact on the development and commercial operation of 3G in China, so the tests are being watched closely by many leading handsets vendors both in China and abroad. The NetFront Mobile Client Suite supports the latest OMA Browsing 2.2 specification and W3C specifications, delivering a full Internet browsing experience.
"Hisense Communications has a strong competitive edge in handset technology development, and we are pleased to collaborate with Hisense to support the TD-SCDMA pre-commercial test," said Toru Arakawa president and CEO of ACCESS. "ACCESS has successfully cooperated with numerous 3G mobile operators worldwide, and we are pleased to share our expertise with domestic operators and handset vendors to contribute to the development of the TD-SCDMA industry."
