Alcatel Invests Heavily in 3G R&D in China

Alcatel will invest an additional US$45 million in R&D programs in China focused on 3G infrastructure. R&D in 3G already was expected to constitute a significant portion of the US$100 million R&D commitment in China that Alcatel announced earlier this year.


According to the Chinese Ministry of Information Industry, by the end of July 2003, the number of mobile subscribers in China had reached 234 million, representing the largest mobile phone market in the world.
