Beijing. July 6. INTERFAX-CHINA - China Unicom has completed network optimization projects in the 55 cities that formed its first phase of 3G WCDMA network construction, and has plans to finish second phase network construction in 229 cities by October 2009, a China Unicom employee told Interfax on July 6.
Jian Feng, an employee from China Unicom's network construction department, said that WCDMA network signals successfully cover 95 percent of the intended areas following the network optimization projects in the 55 cities. Feng added that China Unicom plans to begin nationwide commercial operations of WCDMA services by October this year if all goes to plan.
"We've accumulated useful insight from the network optimization projects in the 55 cities, which will help us in second phase network construction," Jian said. "Network optimization is a continuing project, as user behavior, distribution and geographic environments change constantly. After the second phase is completed, we will still need to optimize network coverage regularly in all the cities."
China Unicom began WCDMA network construction in February and completed first phase construction in mid-May.
