Datang adopts Tektronix tester for TD-SCDMA development

Datang Mobile Communication Devices Corp. Ltd has signed Tektronix Inc. to provide test and measurement equipment for the development of Datang's Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) networks and elements.

TD-SCDMA is a 3G technology that enables operators to increase both the number of users and the data throughput in next-generation mobile communications networks. It is the first standard from China to be accepted by the International Telecommunication Union and Third-Generation Partnership Project. Tektronix and Datang Mobile's agreement is expected to put Tektronix's K1297-G20 protocol tester in TD-SCDMA development labs across China.
