subject: Himfr.com Reports Foreign Industry Gradually Withdraw From The Global Mobile Phone Baseband Chip Mar [print this page] TD-SCDMA was considered to be the continent to achieve self-3G communications technology specifications dream, even though mainland China so far, including mobile phones and system operators, and even Taiwan IC design industry MediaTek, TD-SCDMA is still a wait for implementation, and has been gradually the practice of dream, however, with the Freescale (Freescale) into its mobile phone baseband and RF chip product line was sold to Beijing Beijing core, for the international chip suppliers, TD-SCDMA was like a nightmare, including Analog Devices (ADI), NXP (NXP) and Freescale Fun gradually forced to withdraw from the global mobile phone baseband chip market.
Analog Devices took the lead in mobile phone chip product line sold to MediaTek, NXP also in 2008 will be related to product lines sold to STMicroelectronics (STMicroelectronics), and even through direct investment, access to mainland China IC design companies COMMIT equity Nokia (Nokia), and Texas Instruments (TI), also COMMIT after blowing taps forced to exit the market; as Freescale is the choice in 2009, the mainland state-owned enterprises as the final buyer, bringing the involvement of all the original TD -SCDMA system development of foreign handset chip suppliers, have stop-loss off.
In fact, including Analog Devices, NXP and Freescale's TD-SCDMA system in the choice as an investment target, and plans to launch last-ditch, and then to have tasted the bitter fruit of recovery is too slow and was forced to exit the market, the final choice sale of the product line a passer-by. Freescale CEO Rich Beyer will be admitted, have invested too much but the recovery is too slow, yes Freescale consider their own competitiveness to opt out of the global mobile phone baseband chip market key, he was laying bare the current global mobile phone baseband chip market competition in dilemma.
Chip supplier said that despite the development of TD-SCDMA system, more than five years, but as of June 2009, TD-SCDMA system is mainly announced by leaders of China Mobile TD-SCDMA users is only about 99 million people, accounting for the current number of users the proportion of more than 500 million people is less than 1%, even though the second half of 2009 China Mobile TD-SCDMA user goals can be further increased by about 3 million people in the next 2 to 4 years will be an increase of about 3,000 million users, but this compared to TD - SCDMA system, a huge amount of investment is still insignificant.
Chip suppliers that the China TD-SCDMA system, the amount of investment is too large, but the amount and timing of recovery is getting slower and slower operating difficulties in the short run seems to be no better chance, the big question is likely to continue to plague remained in the pit fighting all the chip suppliers.
However, the mainland TD-SCDMA chip market situation of the war has been from the original domestic and foreign competitors, mixed race, now transformed into MTK, Spreadtrum and other mobile phone chip makers cross-strait apply on competition, the kind of "home advantage" if the two sides will make mobile phones chip suppliers out of the woods, however, await further validation of the time.
