2007
CL4020, TD-SCDMA 3G RF transceiver developed by Comlent, ranked as the only local IC design house winner among the 10 “Technical Innovation Prize” for “2006 Annual Analog/Mix IC Products” nominated by Electronic Engineering & Product World (EEPW, major Chinese science & technology journal with national authority);

Paper on CL4020, world’s first dual-band CMOS TD-SCDMA transceiver, has been accepted by IEEE International Solid State Circuit Conference (ISSCC), the show case chip design conference. This is also the first time ever that a China based company is recognized by this technical summit of global chip design community for demonstrating the world-class result of a major chip in whole.

“Prize of Annual Technical Contribution” entitled by 2007 China Communications Industry technology Annual Conference.

The news that Comlent released its TD-SCDMA RF transceiver has been listed among “2006 Top 10 Milestone News” recommended by China Electronics News: “Comlent-developed CMOS chipset, RF transceiver CL4020 and ABB CL4520, can well support the TD baseband solutions of all major local BBIC vendors including Spreadtrum, Datang, T3G, Commit and CYIT. This breakthrough lifts China’s final bottleneck of domestic TD-SCDMA equipment and chip supplying chain”.

2006
Comlent CEO, Dr. Kai Chen, ranked in“10 Annual Industry Innovators” selected by 2006 Annual Economic Conference of China IT Industry. The nomination remark is “by catching the opportunity of TD-SCDMA, Chinese 3G, he has built a strong team with rich experience on RFIC design, marketing and management, which has contributed a lot to China’s TD-SCDMA industry by successfully having made up the industry weakness, i.e. RFIC area, and having broken the monopoly of foreign companies in this area”.

The 1st and major authorized RFIC member/supplier voted by TD-SCDMA Industry Alliance (TDIA) panel.

Comlent as a typical case, remarked by Morgan Stanley in its recent research report on China local IC industry:” We were impressed with the level of innovation, aggressiveness, and motivation of the emerging fabless semiconductor and design services companies in these regions“.

Dr. Kai Chen ranked in “9 Annual Innovation Pioneers for Chinese-owned Hi-tech Industry” entitled by Pudong Government of Shanghai.

Prize of “1st Greater China RF Client for Mass Production of 1 Million Milestone” entitled by Jazz Semiconductor Inc..

2005

Comlent as Director Member of Shanghai Integrated Circuit Association (SICA).

2004
Dr. Kai Chen was entitled the "Men of China IC Industry's 1st Decade Anniversary Start-up" Award by CSIA.

Comlent was reported by Wall Street Journal as “Excellent Sample of Drafting an Industry from the Ground Up in China”, driven by its successful delivery of “1st RFIC with Chinese-owned core IP” which represents a significant breakthrough in the growth of greater China’s IC design industry.

Dr. Kai Chen was recommended as an innovation pioneer among the feature report of “25 Most Influential Pioneers in China’s IC Industry” by China High Technology Enterprises Bi-monthly.

2003
Comlent as the only authorized project owner for “863 Project” of “PHS Standard RFIC R&D and commercialization” organized and managed by Ministry of Science and Technology (MST).

2002

The Minister of French Ministry of Science and Technology remarked “China is growing a giant in Science and Technology” after her visit to Comlent (reported by famous French newspaper Le Figaro);

Comlent, China’s 1st local RFIC design house, was established at Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park, Pudong, Shanghai.

To date, Comlent has accumulatively invested more than 120 million RMB into R&D.
