Fujitsu LTE Smartphone Plans

The Nikkei quotes Fujitsu President Masami Yamamoto saying they plan smartphone launches in India and China http://bit.ly/hl3PGP

Fujitsu eyes entry into overseas cellphone markets

The Nikkei newspaper cited Fujitsu President Masami Yamamoto in an interview published Thursday as saying the company planned to launch smartphones in India and China — the world’s two largest mobile phone markets — by 2012. Fujitsu is aiming to boost its handset sales by 60 percent to around 10 million units in the financial year to March 2013, the Nikkei said.

Yamamoto was quoted as saying Fujitsu’s line-up would include models compatible with Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology, a next-generation network that promises to be several times faster than exisiting networks once it is rolled out. Fujitsu integrated its cellphone operations with Toshiba Corp’s in October, becoming the No. 2 player in the Japanese market and preparing itself for a push overseas. Via Reuters.
