Datang Telecom Group (officially Datang Telecom Technology &Industry Group) is a Chinese state-owned telecommunications equipment group headquartered in Beijing,China.
It is best known for its leading role in developing the Chinese TD-SCDMA 3G mobile telecommunications standard through its subsidiary DT Mobile (formerly known as Datang Mobile). Datang Telecom Group sells equipment to Chinese mobile network operators [2] and also provides military communications infrastructure to the People's Liberation Army. [3]
Datang Telecom Group was founded on September 21,1998 [4] by the China Academy of Telecommunications Technology (CATT) and manufactures telecommunications equipment. It has been the trading name of the China Academy of Telecommunications Technology since September 1998. [5] The academy itself was founded in 1957. In 1998 a limited company Datang Telecom Technology was also incorporated and floated in the Shanghai Stock Exchange on 21 October 1998.[ citation needed ]
In April 2007,Datang secured a 36.6% share of China Mobile's first large-scale TD-SCDMA network construction contracts. [6]
In March 2012,Datang Telecom agreed to acquire three companies:TD-SCDMA chipmaker Leadcore Technology,handset design and manufacturing company Shanghai Uniscope Technologies,and its subsidiary Qidong Uniscope Electronics;Datang already held a 51 percent stake in Shanghai Uniscope. [7]
Datang's business areas include high-capacity digital switching,optical networking,data communication,and digital microwave communication equipment and software and system integration services. However,revenue from these sectors is far outweighed by the company's spending on TD-SCDMA research and product development,and in recent years the company has taken out a series of heavy loans from state-owned Chinese banks to fund this development. [8] [9]
In 2012,the United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission released a report alleging connections between Datang and the People's Liberation Army,in particular via Datang's Tenth Research Institute in Xi'an. [3]
