Cambridge, UK-base TTPCom Ltd, an independent supplier of digital wireless technology, Friday announces the opening of a new technical support office in Shenzhen, southern China. TTPCom has been active in China for many years and its growing customer base includes many of the country's leading handset manufacturers such as TCL, ZTE, Soutec and China Kejian. The company already has a technical support office in Shanghai and is now building a team of engineers in Shenzhen to work closely with customers in the area and in particular to focus on shortening development times for market-leading, innovative wireless products. In the area of next generation technologies TTPCom is working on establishing a leading position in the worldwide market for EDGE software, which with data rates up to three times those available on GPRS networks, enables the early deployment of 3G-type services prior to the roll-out of 3G itself. TTPCom has demonstrated industry leading data rates of 216 kbps, and has licensed its software to a number of companies in Asia including LG, Pantech and Innostream.
