TSMC to replace PHS with 3G for internal communication
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is planning to change its internal communication system, replacing the currently used PHS system established by NEC with a 3G system to be selected based on an open bidding. Leading telecoms carriers in Taiwan are preparing to participate in the competition, according to industry sources.
TSMC has neither confirmed nor denied the speculation.
The 3G system needed by TSMC should be low power in order to minimize electromagnetic interference, the sources indicated. In addition, the supporting 3G handsets are required to not have a camera or memory card interface, the sources noted.
TSMC's open bid is expected to be very attractive to telecoms carriers. Winning the bid with the semicon giant will open up business opportunities from other potential customers.
