CDMA2000 1X 3G Network Innovation The Technology Behind the News
URL(s): www.cdg.org
Bell Mobility announced today the commercial launch of the first nationwide
CDMA2000 1X wireless network. Nortel Networks provides the entire core,
radio and access technology for this network build. Nortel Networks
industry-leading CDMA technology can essentially double Bell Mobility's
voice capacity and allow them to provide 'always on' media-rich applications
at data speeds up to ten times faster than previously available.
Today's announcement is proof that 3G wireless is happening in North America
and will revolutionize the way businesses and consumers communicate.
According to Nortel Networks, faster speeds, more advanced devices and
user-friendly and personalized applications/services will accelerate
adoption of wireless data.
This extends a long-standing relationship between Nortel Networks and Bell
Mobility. In August 2001, Nortel Networks was awarded an estimated US$117
million ($180 Cdn) contract to build Bell Mobility's digital PCS network
into Western Canada (Alberta and British Columbia), using CDMA2000 1X
infrastructure. During this time, Bell Mobility and Nortel Networks
performed live CDMA 2000 1X voice and data calls and demonstrated web
browsing, email with attachments and live streaming video. This winning
collaboration - a global wireless infrastructure and communications leader
and Canada's most innovative wireless operator - unleashes the potential of
next-generation wireless data and delivers 'always on' wireless services to
end users.
