GrenTech Becomes One of the Key Wireless Coverage Integrated Services Providers for China Mobile in 2007
SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 10 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China GrenTech Corporation Limited (NASDAQ: GRRF, "the Company" or "GrenTech"), a leading China-based wireless coverage solutions provider, announced that it has won 2007's final wireless coverage integrated service project bid from Shandong Mobile, China Mobile's provincial subsidiary. This is GrenTech's 17th project win from China Mobile at the provincial level in 2007. With this win, GrenTech has successfully extended its wireless coverage business obtained from China Mobile to five additional provincial markets in 2007 compared to that of 2006, contributing to further growth in revenues from China Mobile.
China Mobile changed its tender model in 2007 to require its provincial subsidiaries to separate the bidding process for product procurement from integrated service. The centralized bidding system for product procurement calls for integrated services to be managed at the provincial level, allowing each province to choose suppliers according to their specific needs. Despite lowering product prices due to the new centralized procurement process, the integrated service fees tend to be higher under the new tender model, as compared to the original bundling model of product procurement and integrated services. Under the new model, the proportion of integrated service fees to the total construction cost varies from 10-15% to 30-50% in different situations for each province. Being a key qualified wireless coverage solution integrated services provider for China Mobile has not only expanded GrenTech's share of business from China Mobile, it will also further improve the Company's profit margin in the wireless coverage business, as the proportion of integrated service fees increases.
