Nortel Increases Operator Revenue Potential with New Converged Mobility Solution
NEW ORLEANS – Nortel* [NYSE/TSX: NT] announced a CDMA WLAN Converged Mobility solution designed to bridge CDMA wireless networks and wireless local area networks (WLANs) to provide a seamless communication experience to end users. This solution will allow CDMA operators to extend the reach of cellular 3G networks and deliver services more cost effectively by leveraging WLAN networks.
It will allow the operator to deliver a consistent communications experience between CDMA and WLAN networks and allow end users to roam seamlessly between these networks and enjoy feature rich Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based services beyond voice, including video calling, video conferencing, short messaging service, instant messaging, e-mail, Web access and other multimedia services – all from one device and one phone number. It will also manage subscriber billing information across networks so that end users can receive one, consolidated bill.
“Operators are looking for innovative solutions that will help squeeze the most value from their existing network investments and offer a more compelling experience to subscribers from any location,” said Richard Lowe, president, CDMA, Nortel. “Our wireless LAN capabilities coupled with our extensive experience in wireless 3G infrastructure will allow operators to increase revenue potential, build customer loyalty and, ultimately, gain competitive advantage.”
Nortel’s WLAN CDMA Converged Mobility solution will be demonstrated at CTIA Wireless 2005 in New Orleans (Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Hall C, Booth #3125) March 14-16. The demonstration will use TABLET media’s iFonTM software application on the dual mode device to enable Nortel’s Multimedia Communication Server (MCS) 5200 services.
Nortel’s WLAN CDMA Converged Mobility solution will help decrease operator costs by allowing them to use WLAN access points as an option to deploying CDMA base stations and carriers. Operators can leverage existing Nortel platforms, including Nortel’s Call Server 2000 and MCS 5200, to quickly deploy the solution. In addition, the solution is SIP based and easily integrates into Nortel’s recently announced Converged Multimedia Services (CMS) portfolio.
Nortel will be conducting live market trials globally with leading operators across the globe later this year.
The solution builds on Nortel’s leadership in 3G wireless infrastructure technology, proven VoIP expertise, more than five years of R&D investment in SIP and Nortel’s Enterprise advanced WLAN portfolio.
