Hong Kong Wireless Technology Industry Association (WTIA) is leading the “Hong Kong Cyberport TD-SCDMA Service Development Center” Project, which is sponsored by OGCIO of the HKSAR Government & Datang Mobile Communications Equipment Co. Ltd. The objectives of the project are to:
1. To establish a test and development facility at the Cyberport for TD-SCDMA application development;
2. To provide appropriate TD-SCDMA application development skills training and knowledge;
3. To nurture the growth of SMEs developing wireless application/content by providing business and marketing skill training and knowhow;
4. To create a critical mass of TD-SCDMA applications and contents for the development of local, the Mainland and overseas market;
Since two years ago, WTIA has established the Hong Kong Cyberport TD-SCDMA Service Development Centre which provides good TD-SCDMA coverage at Hong Kong Wireless Development Centre (HKWDC), TD-SCDMA handsets and SIM cards, allowing developers to develop and test TD-SCDMA applications at HKWDC. And the first batch of five applications with Olympic theme is showcased since the opening ceremony of TD-SCDMA Service and Application Development Centre (TDSADC) set up in Datang office in Beijing. Now, China Mobile launched TD-SCDMA service since early 2008. The project team will identify up to seven TD-SCDMA mobile services for demonstration at the “Hong Kong Cyberport TD-SCDMA Service Development Centre” at HKWDC and Datang Demonstration Centre at Beijing. All mobile and wireless application developers are encouraged to submit their innovative proposal to the project team. The RFP for the mobile services are attached for your reference.
