HTC Corporation formalized today (August 24th) a memorandum of understanding covering “substantive cooperation on TD-SCDMA” with China Mobile, Ltd., China’s largest telecommunications service provider.
Mr. Wang Jianzhou, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Mobile, commenting on the MOU, expressed that “Achievements achieved by HTC in the global smart phone industry have been most impressive. HTC is today a brand recognized and respected across Greater China. Growth of the TD-SCDMA mobile network, using an international standard developed and promoted by Chinese, has already stimulated broad based excitement and enthusiasm. We are exceptionally pleased with this opportunity to partner with HTC and to meet future challenges as one. Together, we look forward to expanding the TD-SCDMA industry chain and spurring development of the Cross-Strait telecommunications sector. We look for this partnership to become a model of cooperation.”
HTC Chairman Cher Wang, commenting on the new MOU, noted, “China Mobile is one of the world’s leading telecommunications companies. We look forward to developing together many advantages that enhance our core competitive strengths and deliver to Chinese consumers smartphone products that are increasingly user-friendly and intuitive. HTC CEO Peter Chou added, “Going forward, HTC will actively develop intelligent advanced wireless broadband products based on the TD-SCDMA standard, and will work closely with China Mobile to design and make products tailored to the needs of the China market – products that will deliver to Chinese consumers mobile telecommunications products incorporating cutting-edge conveniences, features and technologies.
TD-SCDMA is the first international technology standard in China’s century-old telecommunications industry for which administration and ownership of related intellectual property rights (IPR) are based in China. The standard also marks an important milestone in the innovation and growth of China’s telecommunications sector.
