3G Demos in China

Representatives from major Chinese telecommunications operators recently witnessed first-hand the potential of 3G UMTS applications at Motorola's laboratory in Beijing. This was Motorola's first high-speed audio and data call through a live, completely integrated end-to-end UMTS system in China.

The demonstrations, made over a UMTS system with seamless connections between wireless and data networks in several locations, showed some practical uses for mobile phones using today's emerging 3G technologies. During the demonstrations, visitors were able to experience real-time videoconferences, play online games, enjoy high-speed Internet browsing, e-mail and deliver SMS's from the UMTS system to current commercialized GSM handsets.

Motorola has conducted numerous UMTS trials at customer locations in Australia and Spain, and in its other laboratories worldwide in addition to this recent demonstration for operators in Beijing.

Motorola's UMTS solution used for this demonstration includes a base station (Node B) and base station controller, core network, application server and a simulated mobile terminal.'"
