BANGALORE: CDMA wireless phone maker Kyocera has said that it has set up a hardware engineering design centre in Bangalore. The centre has been set up at a cost of nearly $1 million.

The Kyocera Wireless Corp President, Mr Tsuyoshi Mano, said in a statement that the design centre would take the company closer to self-sufficiency in the Indian code division multiple access (CDMA) market, which is expected to grow from 10 million subscribers in 2003 to more than 40 million by 2007.

The Managing Director of Koycera Wireless India, Mr Samartha Nagabhushanam, said the Indian operation would become a one-stop solution provider to Indian CDMA carriers and other CDMA markets in the near future.
