Lenovo Mobile Communications is poised to deliver 3,000 TD900 TD-SCDMA TV mobile phones with built-in China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting (CMMB) ships to China Mobile Ltd., the nation's largest mobile carrier, in partnership with Spreadtrum Communications Inc., a Shanghai-based provider of TD-SCDMA baseband chips.
The story was announced on July 31 by the mobile phone unit under China's consumer electronics giant Lenovo Group Ltd.. Spreadtrum is the only maker of CMMB ships in the industry.
"Lenovo Mobile will offer the first batch of 200 TD900 TV mobile phones," said Lu Yan, president of the mobile phone unit. "It will supply the left before August 5, an effort to serve the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games."
The State Administration of Radio Film and Television of China (SARFT) has released six operation licenses for mobile television content, but the Chinese government has not yet made a national mobile television standard, whose consideration is the CMMB standard or the Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) standard.
In addition, Lenovo Mobile does not win a network access license for these TD900 TV mobile phones from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China.
