The CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technology is dated almost a decade ago and has been popular all over. Though the majority users are of GSM (Global system for mobile communication) technology, CDMA users have developed over the years. In India particularly the CDMA technology has excelled starting with Reliance Communications followed by Tata Indicom.
The CDMA mobile phone handsets in India are dominated by the Chinese handset makers. They have tied up with brands like Nokia and Motorola but the cheap Chinese handsets are the favored option among others. China’s big guns in mobile production like ZTE, Bird International and Kejian have forayed into the Indian mobile phone market and are expanding. Most of the entry level, basic utility phones to mid-range phones is manufactured by ZTE. They supply handsets to players like Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices. Even Spice mobile which has been famed for its dual-sim capacity handsets it also rolling out a series of cheap handsets.
The low priced Chinese handsets are becoming an easy buy for the Indian consumers. The lifestyle handsets are not yet preferred of Chinese origin but the entry-level ones are highly popular. The cheap pricing with basic functions suits the routine of the semi-urban and rural crowd in India. While most unaware of English language the Rs. 800 handset from Spice mobile has no display screen but a voice based application which helps in dialing numbers.
The CDMA technology has an upper hand in the rural markets because of their low initial investment and cheap handsets. These CDMA mobile handsets are affordable and have high utility features such as extended battery life, clear voice quality, call conferencing and even entertainment feature like radio thus attracting customers.
These cdma mobile handsets are a good cheap substitute for the fixed line connections. They also provide cheap services and they have been a reasonable hit in the urban market. They are now spreading to the rural markets and are basing up infrastructure. The infrastructural cost of CDMA services is costlier and it also takes time to set up.
The mid-range handsets are not yet popularized by the Chinese products and so is the higher end range. The buzzword in the Indian mobile industry is the rural market the Chinese makers are raking in business and profits. Orpat, a watch making company also entered the rural mobile market industry by manufacturing their handsets in China.
