The TM610 -- TD-SCDMA/GSM dual mode wireless communication module, jointly launched by Spreadtrum and Rahotech, is designed for use in the wireless fixed-line video phone. With support for TD-SCDMA/GSM dual mode, the module enables switching automatically and seamlessly between GSM and TD-SCDMA. In addition, it supports applications such as weather forecast, mobile paper, DCD (Dynamic Content Delivery , MP3 background music and typical 3G functions such as video phone, and high-speed, large-capacity data downloading. Featuring simple and easy development, stable performance and a compact structure, the module lays the foundation for the further development of rich wireless fixed- line video phone products.
Now that it's in the early stage of the TD-SCDMA network construction, optimization is needed for coverage of the TD-SCDMA network. Since wireless fixed-line video phone products are placed inside a room, the user experience will be greatly enhanced if carriers plan well and optimize the networks in areas to ensure coverage and quality, and develop related services with a corresponding fee model. Therefore, the launch of the module pushes forward a new channel for TD-SCDMA's commercialization.
The TM610 -- TD-SCDMA/GSM dual mode wireless communication module deploys Spreadtrum's SC8800 series TD-SCDMA dual mode baseband chipsets, which include the same level of high integration as previous Spreadtrum baseband chipsets. The module features 3G typical functions such as high-speed transmission, video phone, data applications, voice calls, SMS and MMS.
"We believe that Rahotech's TD-SCDMA/GSM dual mode wireless communication module based on Spreadtrum's SC8800 series baseband chipsets sets a new product model for the commercialization and industrialization of the TD-SCDMA technology, and pushes the popularization of TD-SCDMA products," said Michael Zhang, President of Rahotech. "Rahotech would like to maintain close and long- term cooperation with Spreadtrum on TD-SCDMA technology, while delivering cost-effective one-stop total solutions, time-to-market and efficiency advantages to customers."
Dr. Ping Wu, Chairman and CEO of Spreadtrum, expressed, "As one of China's leading wireless baseband chipset providers, Spreadtrum is devoted to the evolution of wireless communication and multimedia technology. Spreadtrum's product range includes baseband chipsets for 2G, 2.5G, 3G and 3.5G handsets, RF chips, specialized software, handset development platform, mobile TV chips and AVS audio/video decoder chips. The world's first TD-SCDMA/GSM dual mode wireless communication module supporting video phone function uses Spreadtrum's SC8800 series chip solution. This once again proves Spreadtrum's dedication to the development of TD-SCDMA technology and the 3G network business. As the commercialization of TD-SCDMA progresses, Spreadtrum will focus on the personal and corporate customers market while still meeting the basic demands for quality voice communication via mobile phones. We believe that this cooperation not only provides personal and corporate users with a wireless fixed-line video phone product that supports richer applications, but also creates a new cooperation to further develop the TD-SCDMA business."
