Japan, China, Korea to Jointly Develop 4G Phones

31st May , 2004

Japan, China and Korea have agreed to jointly develop communications and other technologies for fourth-generation cellular phones, which are expected to come into commercial use around 2010, sources close to the matter said on April 3.

The agreement is aimed at having the three countries adopt a unified communications protocol. Together, they account for about 30% of all cell phone users around the world, so the protocol could eventually become the global standard.

Working-level meetings will soon begin on a regular basis to exchange views and promote joint research among their scientific institutes and private companies.

Fourth-generation cell phones, which will succeed the FOMA third-generation service of NTT DoCoMo Inc and CDMA2000 3G service of KDDI Corp, are expected to enable throughput of 100Mbps -- equivalent to the speed of fiber-optic communications. They are also expected to allow users to watch crystal-clear TV images on their displays even on fast-moving trains.
