Spreadtrum Communications, Inc., a leading fabless semiconductor company that
develops baseband and RF processor solutions for the wireless communications
market, and
Qingdao Hisense Communication Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of a world leading
provider of flat panel TVs, household appliances and mobile communications, jointly launched the
world’s first TD-SCDMA feature phone — Hisense N51 — with retail price below
phone that supports CMMB digital TV among all existing 3G phones that are
available through China Mobile’s "TD-SCDMA Terminal Special Incentive Fund
Project" program. With the increasing demand for affordable 3G phones in the
Chinese market, the launch of Hisense N51 will greatly accelerate the adoption
of the TD-SCDMA platform and further enrich TD-SCDMA terminal products and
services.
Hisense N51 was jointly developed by Spreadtrum and Hisense in a highly
collaborative technical partnership. Executive Vice President of Hisense
Communication, Ms.
share a long history of co-operation. Partnering with Spreadtrum, we
successfully won the bid of ‘thousand-yuan 3G mobile phones’ project of China
Mobile’s ‘TD-SCDMA Terminal Special Incentive Fund Project.’ Through our
six-month joint efforts and Spreadtrum’s very competitive TD-SCDMA and CMMB
solutions, the Hisense N51 was introduced. The excellent localized technical
support and quick customer service response from Spreadtrum’s team have not only
greatly shortened the time to launch Hisense N51, but also ensured that Hisense
TD-SCDMA products will be competitive in the 3G phone market. Hisense has always
been at the forefront of the TD-SCDMA industry. At present, China Mobile has
completed the construction of a national network, by investing huge resources to
support the end-products, especially affordable G3 handsets. Compounded with its
huge customer base and mature terminal operating experience, I believe, in 2010,
partnership with Spreadtrum will move further in the next level."
