The Telecommunication Software Test Center (TSTC) of China Academy of Telecommunication Research is the only professional mobile phone testing institution designated by the Ministry of Information Industry.

Futuremark Corporation heralds this agreement as both an endorsement of the validity of their handheld benchmarking tools and as a major success in their ongoing China business initiatives. By partnering with the TSTC, Futuremark will be able to leverage licensing their tools to mobile device manufacturers. As part of the long-term intent of the agreement, Futuremark will license the TSTC all current handheld testing tools including 3DMarkMobile ES 1.1, 3DMarkMobile ES 2.0, SimulationMark ES 2.0, VGMark 1.0, SPMarkJava JSR 184 and SPMark for Symbian OS v9, as well as tools which are in either in development today or on Futuremarks forward looking product roadmap.
Futuremark has successfully secured an undisclosed major semiconductor company and BDP member as first licensor of the Content Creation Tool Chain, providing irrefutable evidence of the new tool chain delivering a powerful advantage to the leading vendors in mobile industry.
