Motorola has opened an m-commerce laboratory in Beijing in collaboration with China International Electronic Commerce Center, an agency operating under China's Ministry of Commerce responsible for the development of electronic information projects.

By leveraging this laboratory, Motorola said that the company and its partners are able to develop the ecosystem and pre-integrate and validate the service prior to commercial deployments in China.

According to Motorola, the m-commerce laboratory is expected to bridge the gap among industry, government and academia to facilitate certain aspects in the m-commerce environment such as research and commercialization of mobile applications, mobile payment and security, and enterprise mobile commerce application.

TK Ng, general manager of Motorola global services for Motorola China home and networks mobility, said: "We are very pleased to co-operate with a prestigious organization like China International Electronic Commerce Center (CIECC). The laboratory embodies Motorola's continuing efforts to build stronger collaboration with various companies in different fields, building up a common platform and end-user solutions for small-and-medium-sized enterprises and consumers to mobilize the commerce transactions in a secured manner while enhancing the communications across the entire commerce industry and value chain."
