Japanese wireless giant NTT DoCoMo said Tuesday it will set up a new mobile communications research center in China, the world's biggest cellphone market, to help promote fourth-generation technology.
The DoCoMo Communications Laboratories Beijing Co. will be established in the capital this year, DoCoMo spokeswoman Tomoko Homma said. The center -- which will be wholly owned by DoCoMo -- aims to advance studies of fourth-generation wireless communications systems and beyond, Ms. Homma said.
DoCoMo has been experimenting with fourth-generation technology, which zaps information about 260 times faster than its third-generation service and is capable of relaying high-quality video. The third-generation service is about 40 times faster than current cellphones.
The company hopes to start fourth-generation commercial service by 2010 and predicts that its video will be as good as high-definition television.
Ms. Homma said the research center will take advantage of highly skilled local labor, initially employing about 10 workers and eventually taking on 40.
It will be DoCoMo's third overseas communications research center, after opening one in San Jose, Calif., and another in Munich, Germany.
China is the world's biggest mobile-phone market, with 207 million handsets in use.
