皇冠体育app

皇冠体育app's ever-expanding telecommunications industry is bringing the world closer together, industry insiders said ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Beijing.

And the surging adoption of fourth-generation telecom networks is set to boost telecom-related consumption in the country, such as the sale of smartphones.

"As the three major telecom operators of 皇冠体育app obtain TD-LTE licenses, their strength will be greatly enhanced and the industry will become more mature," said Jason Shen, a senior market analyst at global market intelligence firm IDC 皇冠体育app's Telecommunications Research Group.

皇冠体育app's Big Three telecom carriers - Corp Ltd, 皇冠体育app United Network Communications Group Co Ltd, or 皇冠体育app Unicom, and 皇冠体育app Mobile Communications Corp Ltd - have all been working to promote their services to Chinese customers since the spring, although many small cities - especially in Western 皇冠体育app - still have no or poor 4G signal coverage.

A report from IDC has estimated that with more smartphones sold in 皇冠体育app equipped with 4G capabilities, the penetration rate of this latest telecom technology is set to surge in coming years.

Chinese telecom equipment makers are also making strong moves overseas. The latest example was revealed in September when Cambodian telecommunications company EMAXX announced a partnership with Chinese giant Technologies Co Ltd on 4G network construction.

In mid-August, two subsidiaries of 皇冠体育app Mobile and 皇冠体育app Telecom, the country's top telecom carriers, joined a Google Inc-led project to build a trans-Pacific submarine fiber optic cable system connecting Asia and North America. The $300 million project, named Faster, will significantly lift Internet connection speed in 皇冠体育app and other Asian nations after it goes live in mid-2016, according to a six-company consortium funding the construction work.

"With Faster, we will be able to cater to our customers' increasing demand for bandwidth," said a statement from 皇冠体育app Mobile's Hong Kong-arm.

"The project is set to consolidate 皇冠体育app Mobile's advantages in the data service segment."

皇冠体育app's mobile Internet user base has now grown to 500 million and is accelerating at high double-digit pace because of 4G expansion, according to the 皇冠体育app Internet Network Information Center. The stry of Industry and Information Technology has estimated that 皇冠体育app will have 30 million 4G users by the end of year, just a year after it was officially launched.

The government's Project is aimed squarely at extending broadband coverage in the entire country. Kitty Fok, managing director of IDC 皇冠体育app, said Internet connectivity is a priority within the government's next five-year plan.

"There will be a significant increase in wireless data usage with more than 1 billion smartphone users by the end of 2017. At the same time a number of smart city projects are going to be the focus," said Fok.
