The largest CDMA terminal procurement this year will be held in June

Major mobile phone manufacturers and national mobile phone manufacturers have confirmed that they have been notified that China Telecom requires all manufacturers and distributors to uniformly purchase mobile phones at the Guangzhou Trade Fair next month, and some local strong provincial contractors and mobile phone chain companies are also invited.

Since 2009, China Telecom's mobile phone trade fair has been held for three consecutive sessions, and Sina Technology has witnessed all the progress of the previous sessions. In 2009, when China Telecom held the first trade fair in Nanjing, there were only a few dozen CDMA manufacturers, but since then, only in 2009 has there been an increase of hundreds of mobile phone companies. In 2010, there were more than 200 manufacturers in the CDMA terminal industry chain, with 7000 people participating in the Tianyi Mobile Phone Trade Fair, and in 2011, it has increased to tens of thousands of people.

According to the registered situation, there are over 5000 CDMA terminal manufacturers, design companies, application developers, chip manufacturers, terminal distributors, etc. in total. China Telecom is expected to have tens of thousands of people attending the trade fair.

It is reported that this meeting will determine the terminal policy direction of China Telecom in the second half of the year, and will also have a significant impact on the performance of CDMA mobile phone manufacturers.

It is expected to purchase more than 10 million smartphones

Every session of the Tianyi Mobile Phone Fair will purchase 3G mobile phones, which used to be several million units. However, this year, the situation has been completely different, mainly due to the expansion of the market size.

In 2011, the total market size of Tianyi terminal reached a record 60 million units, an increase of more than 40%. The annual sales of Tianyi 3G mobile phones reached 34 million units, an increase of more than three times over 2010. Tianyi smartphones exceeded 16.6 million units, an increase of more than 10 times over 2010. In March of this year, China Telecom's CDMA users increased by 3.5 million, including 2.4 million 3G users, with a total number of 43.55 million. 3G users have had a net increase of over 2 million users in a single month for nine consecutive months.

As of the end of March 2012, the total number of CDMA users of China Telecom was close to 136 million, with 3G users increasing to 43.55 million. This time, China Telecom will purchase a large number of Tianyi 3G mobile phones from the United Nations, which is expected to reach more than 10 million units, several times the number in 2009. The Tianyi 3G mobile phones purchased this time are the main models of China Telecom in the second half of the year.

The latest news is that 3G phones account for over 70% of Tianyi's monthly sales, while smartphones account for over 47%.
