Press Release
Over 100 core people from China Unicom receive training.
The Korean model is being benchmarked in advance of CDMA service launching in China at the end of 2001.
The training will serve as an excellent chance to boost exports of Korean information & communications equipment and technology
"China’s 1.4 billion people are learning Korean CDMA technology."
SK Telecom boasts some of the world?s leading CDMA system operation and maintenance technology. Company officials announced on May 14 that the company is providing training to key China Unicom personnel from 31 provinces and cities, helping to open the door to the vast Chinese market. A cooperative agreement signed by SK Telecom President Pyo Moon-soo and China Unicom Chairman Yang Xianzu last March stipulated that training be provided on system operation & maintenance and marketing at the SK Telecom Human Resources Development Center, located in Ichon, Korea.
The comprehensive 3-session program runs between May 14 and August 30. Over 100 general managers in technical and marketing positions will attend and then apply what they have learned throughout China. As such, the program is expected to give Korean companies an advantage in exporting their information & communications technology and equipment in the days ahead.
The Engineering Session (May 13-27) will cover such issues as network configuration, switching & transmission technology, and network construction. The Operation & Maintenance Session (June 23-29) is concerned with base station monitoring as well as service quality measurement & optimization. The Marketing Session (August 21-30) will deal with marketing strategies, service rate policy, and strategies for distribution and customer satisfaction.
The trainees are core people with ample experience in analog and GSM systems. They will constitute a strong human network throughout China that can greatly help the advance of Korean companies into China in the future.
China Unicom is scheduled to launch its CDMA service nationwide at the end of this year. Therefore, SK Telecom is being benchmarked as a model of success in building and operating CDMA systems as well as in marketing and billing. The SK Telecom training program will give key people from China direct experience in the successful operation of Korean-made equipment. This can serve as the starting point for new projects such as wireless Internet service,
which has been a weakness in the GSM service currently in operation in China.
The training program will also focus the attention of service operators in China, which is emerging as a leading telecommunications market, on SK Telecom?s intangible assets such as system operation know-how. SK Telecom has already broken into the Mongolian and Vietnamese markets, and now its involvement with the Chinese will demonstrate that its CDMA operation technology can be used globally.
China Unicom is China?s second-largest telecommunications company. Established in 1999, the company has received support from the Chinese government and grown steadily, holding 24% of the domestic market by the end of 2000. China Unicom aims to have a CDMA network capacity of 50 million lines by 2003.
Net income per share figures for 2000, the 1st quarter of 2000 and the 1st Quarter of 2001 are after the stock split, whereas the figures for 1999 and earlier are before the stock split.
