Operators want to promote full-model mobile phone exchange or faster implementation

Recently, in a communication industry seminar in China, there are communication operator experts said that the future mobile phone will be full-model - China Mobile's TD-SCDMA, China Telecom's CDMA2000, China Unicom's WCDMA will be all integrated in a mobile phone In the chip, a full-mode handset can be used by inserting any one of the operator's SIM cards. Due to the open support of large operators and technical difficulties, this means that "carrying on behalf of the company" will be implemented faster than "carrying on behalf of numbers."

Large operators pay attention to full-mode mobile phones

At present, many users with two operator SIM cards are using dual mode dual standby mobile phones. But did you hear too many models or a full-model mobile phone? According to the reporter, full-mode handsets capable of supporting multiple systems such as CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, and GSM will be gradually introduced. Whether you use China Mobile's TD-SCDMA card, or China Telecom's CDMA2000 card, or China Unicom's WCDMA card, you only need to insert your SIM card in a full-mode mobile phone and you can use it.

Huang Xiaoqing, president of the China Mobile Research Institute, attended the "TD Intelligent Terminal Technology Development Seminar" on June 7th. He said that the terminal in the future is likely to be full-scale. What is a full-model mobile phone? Huang Xiaoqing explained: “In the operator's joint custom terminal, if the user inserts the A operator's SIM card, they can enjoy the service of the A operator; insert the B operator's SIM card, you can enjoy the service of the B operator. "Huang Xiaoqing proposes that operators conduct joint customization of intelligent terminals, customize the services of each operator to the same terminal, and reduce customization and marketing costs.

Multi-mode single-standby mobile phones have been launched

In fact, full-model mobile phones are simply not technically problematic. According to industry sources, many chip companies, including Marvell, want to launch single-chip TD\WCDMA\GSM three-mode mobile phones. In addition, the well-known chip manufacturer Qualcomm also plans to launch CDMA2000, WCDMA, and TD-SCDMA full-mode mobile phone chips that are all integrated in one chip. The industry even expects similar chips will be used in the next generation iPhone.

In terms of mobile terminals, China Telecom has jointly launched a multi-mode single-standby mobile phone HTC 710D that can support global roaming with HTC. Because the local operator information is already integrated in the mobile phone, it can be directly switched regardless of any standard. Therefore, this mobile phone, which is known as seamless roaming around the world, allows subscribers to leave the country without having to replace the SIM card. Roaming to any country can be immediately switched to the local operator network.

Turn number or turn it into reality soon

Insiders told reporters that as China Mobile and other large operators began to publicly support full-mode mobile phones, coupled with the maturity of technology, it is expected that in the near future, the major mobile phone manufacturers will continue to launch a full-model mobile phone. According to a survey conducted recently, as many as 94% of mobile phone users hope to implement port number-to-network switching without changing the number to another operator's network. Many of these users are fancy to another operator's mobile phone terminal. . Therefore, the industry expects that with the advent of full-mode handsets, the “husband number transfer (mobile phone)” will greatly ease the pressure of operators in the face of number portability.

However, industry analysts also said that similar multi-mode single-standby mobile phones are not necessarily welcomed by operators, and their resistance is not even less than the number of mobile phones. "Starting from the iPhone, major operators around the world have taken special mobile terminals as the core of competition to gain customers. It is difficult for them to abandon the terminal competition strategy because of the turnaround."
