DoCoMo Beijing Communications laboratories Co., Ltd.

Supplying Future Personal Telecommunication Technologies from Asia

NTT DoCoMo has been a leader in the development of mobile communication technologies and services since our foundation in July 1992. We introduced the i-mode mobile Internet service in February 1999, and started the third generation (3G) mobile communication service called IMT-2000 using W-CDMA technology in October 2001.

Support for our leading technologies comes from the latest research and development capabilities of our R&D Center in Yokosuka Research Park in Japan. For example, this Center has already achieved over 100Mbps outdoor wireless data transmission needed for the realization of fourth generation (4G) mobile communication technologies.

However, we believe that a global R&D perspective is essential to further development of mobile and personal communication technologies. Accordingly, NTT DoCoMo already has one overseas laboratory in the U.S.A. (San Jose) and another in Europe (Munich, Germany). Now, we have established the new DoCoMo Beijing Communications Laboratories Co., Ltd. in Beijing, China, to strengthen technological contributions from Asia.

The Roles of DoCoMo Beijing Communications Laboratories

The new laboratories emphasise advanced research in high speed and high volume wireless transmission technologies, wireless systems, and basic technologies for a new approach to mobile communication. The overall purpose of their foundation is to enhance the potential of future mobile and personal communication technologies in 4G and beyond.

People around the world are looking to China for indications of trends in marketing, research and development. China has the largest number of mobile phone subscribers in the world and will maintain its status as a market with significant potential. Additionally, China is bringing great resources to research and development in mobile communication technologies. A government-led project in 4G mobile communication technologies has been launched, in addition to present research in 3G technologies. Zhongguancun in Beijing, often called the Silicon Valley of China, is becoming an important area of activity, due to the number of universities and laboratories engaged in related research and the high calibre of human resources.

DoCoMo Beijing Labs were founded to establish a stronger partnership with China through research activities in this advantageous location. We believe that China and NTT DoCoMo can open a new era through research cooperation in China. Mutual benefit can be gained from the experience and know-how of NTT DoCoMo, combined with the influence of China in the field of mobile communication.
