Kunming Communication IC Conference: Focusing on China's 3G/4G Cellular and Next-Generation Smart Card Markets
   
 

The 5th annual China Communication IC Technology and Industry Development Conference recently took place in Kunming, in the Yu Nan Province of China, from August 24th through August 27th. The hosting and support organizations included the China Institute of Communication, Chinese Institute of Electronics, Datang Microelectronics, China Integrated Circuits magazine, and the Hi-Tech Research and Development program of China VLSI Design.

The smart card market and 3G cellular phone market is growing rapidly in China - the China government has decided to build its own cellular system and set up a China standard such as the TD-SCDMA developed by top Chinese telecom/electronics companies such as Datang Microelectronics and Siemens. The number of cell phones is predicted to be 3 to 10 times the number of the population of China over the next few years. China is already the number one cell phone market, with 226 million cell phones in 2002 and still growing. (more)
