Mobile/Cellular Technology - China Unicom Telecommunications - CDMA - GSM Network (0 words)
China Unicom has, since the deployment of CDMA, run the two networks side by side and made dual band handsets available to subscribers so that they can take advantage of the exceptional coverage offered by the two networks (the company has sold over 300,000 dual band handsets although they are quite expensive).
China Unicom estimated that the phase 3.2 expansion would enable it to increase the subscriber capacity of its 800MHz CDMA2000 1X network by more than 5.4 million.
China Unicom has also been active in video communications, employing Polycom to install the world's largest IP video communications network, covering 320 cities in China, in two phases from 2002 to 2004 (installation of 22 MGC-100 systems as well as many hundreds of video conferencing terminals).
CNN.com - China Unicom buys nine networks - Nov. 21, 2003 (0 words)
China Unicom said the sale of the paging arm and the purchase of nine networks using the GSM mobile standard would boost its 2003 pro forma per share earnings by about 16.8 percent.
China Unicom's GSM network uses cheaper rates than its bigger rival to attract customers, although both Unicom and China Mobile have seen their low-end market under attack from the "Little Smart" system, which does not permit roaming, offered by fixed-line rivals China Telecom Corp and China Netcom.
China Unicom said it is paying about 12.8 times forecast earnings this year of HK$234 million for the nine new networks, a discount of about 30 percent to its own price-earnings ratio of about 18.2 times.
