Qualcomm Cdma No Longer Dominate The Field Of Via So Dominant A Deadly
With rich patent, Qualcomm in the CDMA field has the absolute right to speak, so many manufacturers silent resentment, but VIA’s rise to break this situation, in the same time recognized to the high-pass blow
Recently, China Telecom in Beijing announced a technical collaboration with the VIA Group, product development, industry promotion and other areas to start comprehensive cooperation, a strategic partnership. To witness this historic moment, China Telecom, executive vice president Yang Xiaowei, chairman VIA Cher Wang, Deputy General Manager of China Telecom Tianyi Ma Daojie terminal, VIA Group CEO Chen Wen-chi, VIA Telecom CEO Zhang and including Lenovo, Haier, than Jady, Dopod, etc., many communication terminals manufacturers attended the signing ceremony.
A long time, and there are a number of chip suppliers GSM stark contrast, CDMA major chip supplier in the field, only the high-pass one, so the industry suffered a lot of criticism. Via the China Telecom in hand, the industry regardless of whether the two sides for cooperation or for the entire CDMA industry in China, all have very important value and meaning.
Now, VIA partner of China Telecom, the monopoly on suffering from the oppression of the many high-pass terminal manufacturers, this is obviously a boon. And saw that loss of customers, high-pass in turn react?
Qualcomm unwise Has been high pass in the CDMA field strength, so many mobile phone manufacturers the victims. As the mobile phone industry giant, Nokia has time and again enjoy the high-handed high-pass between the two sides after several twists and turns, and finally was able to reconciliation, but Qualcomm’s outrageous reputation is also famous for the industry.
With patented, high-pass creation of a special licensing system requiring its CDMA terminal manufacturers should not only pay high entry fees, but also isolated from each cell phone technology to use a certain percentage of fees , this “royalties” will be fully implemented in accordance with whether the phone maker Qualcomm chips designated with different amounts paid. Therefore, this provision is also refuted by the industry as “triple exploitation.”
Was forced to call the market, Qualcomm abolished entry fees, but the use of technology costs are still a lot of pressure to the terminal manufacturers. In interviews, some manufacturers have complained to the correspondents: “Qualcomm’s royalty fees in accordance with the percentage of extraction of mobile phone sales price, so even if the phone Xiang a diamond, but also by removing part of the profits of such a mobile phone little left. “This is the CDMA phone market than the same level of GSM mobile phones with high price one of the reasons.
Has served as president of Qualcomm China, in 2001, after thunder, openly condemned the use of Qualcomm’s monopoly in CDMA, CDMA development in China to make the situation difficult. Apart from this, Qualcomm CDMA patent also used on some absolute control over the depth of binding, crowding out other chip makers. For example, the depth of Qualcomm CDMA solutions bundled with RFMD’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chips, Atheros, specifically some of this open API (Application Interface). Since no other Bluetooth Qualcomm and Wi-Fi chip makers API, these factories lost their CDMA chip end markets.
“South Korea’s mobile communications developments show that there is no independent technology invaders, half of the profits have been high-pass taken away.” Said Li, the domestic telecommunications expert, said, “because of Qualcomm’s patent licensing fees are too high, resulting in equipment procurement high cost and procurement cost terminal, so that more operators are forced to abandon CDMA. such as South Korea’s second-largest operator KTF, KDDI, Japan’s second-largest carrier and two CDMA operators in India, Reliance and Tata have both announced last year to give up their CDMA network, and deploy the user to switch networks. ”
“Customer now integrated more and more powerful CDMA terminal, based on customer requirements we are bundling related to chips.
