GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Jan 14, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- COMDEX Scandinavia has
returned for its sophomore year to Gothenburg (Goteborg), Sweden, bringing the
latest in IT innovation from the Nordic countries of Sweden, Denmark, Norway,
and Finland. Being held in the Swedish Exhibition and Congress Centre, the event
begins today and will run until Thursday, Jan. 16. The show offers attendees the
opportunity to focus on a number of key IT topics, such as the growing field of
3G technology. As a leading international force in the development of wireless
technology, Sweden holds two-thirds of the world's 3G patents and has over 100
3G-related companies exhibiting at the event. A joint panel seminar on the
technology is being held during the show and will be lead by industry experts
from Ericsson, Hi3Gl, and the Sonera Corp.
COMDEX Scandinavia is the largest, most important IT event in the region. It is
a unique platform for the Nordic IT business community that offers a tailored
experience to meet the demands of the local market. Estimated to attract over
30,000 qualified buyers who are exploring the latest in wireless, mobile, and
security technologies, the event aims to keep pace with the IT industry by
offering solutions to IT professionals, business managers, software developers,
and the distribution channel.
"It is good to see the COMDEX Scandinavia trade show doing so well," said Erik
Enroth, executive director for Invest in Sweden Agency, U.S. "Having more
exhibitors than last year is quite an accomplishment considering the worldwide
market in the IT and telecom sectors. This shows that companies from Sweden and
the Nordic region are taking the first steps to getting back to business as
usual."

witchhollow, The insiders were selling all the way back from Oct.3,02, and the price went from 9.00 to 19.50.
We made money, so no complained, of course when we went from 19.50 to 14.50 all of a sudden "we" started to complain.
The point is, even if the insiders were not selling we would have found something to complain about.

Research and Markets: China Equipment Market Strategies And Forecasts,
RELATED SYMBOLS: (SI)
Jan 14, 2003 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Chinese markets for
telecommunications equipment were $17.3 billion in 2000. As markets are shifting
away from fixed line communications systems to wireless ones, DWDM will remain
strong because of the increased capacity it offers. Routers will grow to support
the shift to voice over IP. Soft switches will emerge that provide circuit
switch capability on reliable computer server UNIX boxes. Siemens has a very
sophisticated soft switch.
Chinese fixed line equipment markets at $7.9 billion in 2000 are expected to
reach 10.3 billion by 2006.
The portability and convenience of wireless coupled with lower infrastructure
costs and quicker time to install are driving growth of wireless markets in
China. Wireless markets in China at $9.4 billion in 2000 are expected to double
to $18.2 billion by 2006.
Do not get left behind. Understanding the phenomenal potential for growth in
Chinese equipment markets is key to business success.

Research and Markets: Cisco - Market Opportunities, Strategies, and
Jan 14, 2003 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Cisco is poised to benefit from the
transition from circuit switch network to IP architecture. Circuit switching is
being replaced because it is inefficient. Circuit switching depends on an
end-to-end circuit connection that leaves a lot of dead space in the network
while a single call is being handled.
Packet switching permits a single line to manage many calls simultaneously.
Cisco dominates packet network equipment markets. Frame relay, IP, and ATM are
known as packet or cell switching technologies.
Cisco dominates in the IP space.
Routers are positioned to achieve market dominance Worldwide in converged
networks. Markets at $7.9 billion in 2001 will decline significantly in 2002 and
2003 as a result of a decline in capital spending.
As the Internet proves its intrinsic value and as companies begin to achieve
improved productivity as a result of using the Internet, spending will increase
at a rapid rate. Markets are expected to reach $10.8 billion by 2007.
Cisco has a dominant position in the Internet equipment market. Cisco brings
substantial resources to the router and security markets. Market dominance has
enabled Cisco to reduce prices on its products within a short period of time
following the introduction of these products. This reduces the margins and
therefore, the profitability of its competitors.

3G-Type Wireless Navigation in Today's 2G Networks - Wayfinder Systems
RELATED SYMBOLS: (NOK)
LUND, Sweden, Jan 14, 2003 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Wayfinder Systems, a
global provider of wireless navigation, mapping and traffic information services
and technologies, today announces the launch of the new Wayfinder(TM) wireless
navigation product at Comdex Scandinavia in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Wireless navigation and location-based services have been regarded as major
services of the future 3G networks. Wayfinder Systems is today able to launch
these types of services on a 2G mobile phone over existing 2G GSM/GPRS networks.
The Wayfinder(TM) offers step-by-step navigation and location-based services
such as "Find the nearest gas station" or "Find-my-friend."
"This is a truly wireless system that offers major advantages for both users and
network operators," said Magnus Nilsson, CEO of Wayfinder Systems. "The user
gets a very useful service on an ordinary phone that he/she brings on all
travels, and the operator can immediately start to get revenues from its
existing network!"
The Wayfinder(TM) solution is the first of its kind in the world and this first
version of the product consists of a Nokia Series 60 phone, for example Nokia
7650 or 3650, and a Bluetooth-equipped GPS.
"Wayfinder(TM) is a very good example of the powerful applications you can
develop for the Nokia Series 60 phones. With this product, both users and
operators can take full advantage of location-based services already today,"
said Tapio Mansikkaniemi, Service enabler manager, location at Nokia Mobile
Phones.
In contrast to in-car navigation systems that use on-board computers with CD-ROM
or DVD drives, Wayfinder(TM) uses a powerful Internet-based server software
capable of calculating thousands of routes and searches per second. The server
stores comprehensive maps, points of interests, company information and
real-time traffic information. The phone connects to the Wayfinder(TM) server
thus providing a powerful off-board and up-to-date navigation solution for the
user.
The user can enter the destination in many ways: Either by using the keypad of
the phone or log on to the personal navigation page on the Internet or call a
call-center for the destination. The route will then automatically be downloaded
to the phone in only a few seconds and presented to the user by voice, pictures
and maps as he/she drives. The user interface is extremely easy to use and the
system can be used throughout Europe and North America and wherever else a
digital map is available.
The Wayfinder(TM) solution gives the user several advantages:
-- The map is always up-to-date
-- The solution provides the widest map coverage
-- You can enter the destination in many ways, both inside and
outside the car and through a call-center
-- The solution gives access to personalised databases such as
favourite destinations and points of interests
-- The solution also gives access to company information such as
yellow pages and other types of points of interests
-- Traffic information is taken into consideration when routes are
calculated
-- The route is calculated and downloaded extremely fast compared to
traditional systems
-- The solution is completely portable and versatile and can be used
inside the vehicle as well as while walking or biking
-- The solution can easily be integrated with other existing business
systems for professional users
-- The service is operator independent
-- The solution can use GSM, GPRS as well as future 3G networks
-- The product can easily be upgraded for additional functionality
such as a drivers journal in the future
-- The solution has substantially lower cost of ownership than
traditional navigation systems
The product is bought as a package with the Bluetooth-equipped GPS and comes
with a monthly service subscription that gives the user unlimited usage. The
product can be ordered now, while other countries in Europe will follow during
the first half of 2003.
About Wayfinder Systems
Wayfinder Systems AB is a global provider of wireless navigation, mapping and
traffic information services and technologies for telecom operators, car
manufacturers, fleet management companies, Internet Service Providers and
information service providers. The solutions from Wayfinder Systems are based on
the flexible and scalable server architecture that performs ultra-fast and
optimal searches, based on personal preferences, actual journey time and traffic
situation, of both local and remote databases. This architecture also adds
geocoding, reverse geocoding and positioning enhancements to location platforms
with adapted interfaces for most mobile devices of today. The server platform
also provides a comprehensive XML API for an easy and seamless integration into
other LBS systems and business applications.

Kyodo economic news summary
TOKYO, Jan 14, 2003 (Kyodo via COMTEX) --
- Shipment volume of printing machines rises 5.6% in FY 2002
TOKYO - The shipment volume of printing machines by 35 manufacturers operating
in Japan is expected to rise 5.6% from the previous year to 43.53 million units
in fiscal 2002 through March 31, Yano Research Institute said Tuesday.
The marketing research firm attributed the volume gain to the popularity of
ink-jet printers with both copying and scanning functions.
- Companies raise 483 bil. yen in funds via IPOs in 2002
TOKYO - Companies that went public in 2002 raised a combined 483 billion yen in
funds through their initial public offerings (IPOs), marking a 35% drop from the
previous year, UFJ Tsubasa Research Institute said in a survey released Tuesday.
The decline in the amount reflects the fact that more companies set lower
offering prices due to the sluggish stock market, institute officials said.
- Microsoft unveils display providing remote access to PCs
TOKYO - The Japanese unit of U.S. software giant Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday
unveiled its wireless Smart Display technology that enables remote access to
personal computers (PCs).
The touch-sensitive screen enables remote operation of most programs via
wireless hookup and is like a "cordless handset" for the telephone, a Microsoft
official said.
- Post boxes at Lawson stores used as much as usual mailboxes
TOKYO - The mail collection service at Lawson Inc.'s convenience stores was used
as much as conventional mailboxes during the first five days of its operation
from Jan. 1, the head of the Postal Services Agency said Tuesday.
Lawson stores each received an average of 96 letters and postcards a day from
Jan. 1 to 5, close to the average of 100 posted in conventional mailboxes,
Hiroshi Matsui, director general of the agency, told a press conference.
- SingTel to offer 3G services by end of year
SINGAPORE - Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. (SingTel) will offer third
generation (3G) mobile services by the end of this year, a senior company
official said Tuesday.
SingTel Mobile, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SingTel, will award a contract for
construction and development of its 3G mobile network by mid-year and offer
selected 3G services by year's end, Lucas Chow, SingTel Mobile chief executive
officer, said in a speech.
- Moody's analyst predicts Japan's debt will continue to rise
TOKYO - Moody's Investors Service Inc. thinks Japan's ballooning government debt
will rise further if the nation sticks to its current policies, although the
risk of a government funding crisis in the country is still remote, the rating
agency's senior credit officer said Tuesday.
"Current economic conditions and policies do not suggest that the upward trend
in the ratio of general government debt to GDP (gross domestic product) can be
reversed in the near to medium term," Thomas Byrne said at the Japan National
Press Club.
- Sales of NTT DoCoMo's camera-equipped handsets top 5 mil.
TOKYO - NTT DoCoMo Inc. said Tuesday sales of its mobile phones equipped with
built-in cameras have surpassed 5 million units since the release of such
products in June last year.
The achievement came last Friday, only about three weeks after sales of such
handsets by Japan's dominant mobile phone service provider topped 4 million
units in November.
- Seiyu to accept 5 Wal-Mart executives as board members
TOKYO - Supermarket chain operator Seiyu Ltd. said Tuesday it will accept five
executives from U.S. retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc. as members of its board.
Their appointments are subject to approval at an extraordinary meeting of
Seiyu's shareholders to be held March 26, Seiyu said. The five include Wal-Mart
International President John Menzer.
- Okuda repeats need for consumption tax hike
TOKYO - Top business leader Hiroshi Okuda reiterated Tuesday the need to raise
the consumption tax rate in the future from the current 5%, even if it may not
be possible in fiscal 2004 or before.
The economic situation may not allow any hike in the immediate future "but I
believe we should carry out thorough consultations in two to three years from
now on and raise it (in the near future)," Okuda, chairman of the Japan Business
Federation (Nippon Keidanren), said at a press conference.
- No. of subscribers to DSL services jumps 3.7-fold in 2002
TOKYO - The number of subscribers to digital subscriber line (DSL) high-speed
Internet access services came to 5,645,728 at the end of 2002, marking a
3.7-fold jump from the previous year, the telecom ministry said Tuesday.
Behind the rise was intensifying competition among DSL service providers,
resulting in declines in monthly service fees to the reasonable 2,000 yen level
and in various promotional campaigns, officials at the Ministry of Public
Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications said.
- Japan automakers expanded Europe car registrations in 2002
BRUSSELS - Japanese automakers increased new passenger car registrations in
Western Europe in 2002, in contrast with a decrease in overall registrations,
according to a report released Tuesday by the European Automobile Manufacturers
Association.
A total of 14,390,163 new passenger cars were registered in 18 West European
countries in 2002, down 2.9% from the previous year, the association said.
- Next BOJ chief preferably from private sector: Takenaka
CANBERRA - Japan's Financial Services Minister Heizo Takenaka said Tuesday the
successor to Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Masaru Hayami should preferably be
someone from the private sector.
"If there are several candidates, someone from the private sector would be
preferable," Takenaka, who is also economic and fiscal policy minister, told
journalists traveling with him.

GSM to hit one billion subscribers by year end 2003 - 10 fold increase in
LONDON, UK, Jan 14, 2003 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- According to figures
released today by the GSM Association(x) (Ref 1), the voice of the world's
wireless industry, the GSM family of wireless communications continues to
dominate the wireless world. It is estimated that at the end of 2002 there were
787 million GSM subscribers across 190 countries of the world.
The growth of GSM continues unabated with more than 160 million new customers in
the last 12 months. Since 1997, the number of GSM subscribers has increased by a
staggering 10 fold. During late 2003 or early 2004, it is predicted that global
GSM subscribers will smash through the one billion mark.
Craig Ehrlich, Chairman of the GSMA's CEO Board commented: "The impact that GSM
has made over the last decade cannot be understated. It has changed the world -
as signified by one in every 7 people on the planet that use GSM services today.
Growth continues at a pace - it now accounts for more than 72 per cent of the
world's digital wireless market - and we fully expect to achieve one billion
customers around the turn of this year.
"With such massive momentum, it is easy to understand why eight out of ten of
the world's digital wireless carriers, who have made their 3G technology
choices, have selected and invested billions of dollars in the GSM family
platforms of GPRS and W-CDMA as their next generation technologies of choice
globally," added Ehrlich.
As further evidence of GSM's continuing advance and evolution, the GSMA
confirmed today that there are more than 140 data enabled GPRS networks
commercially deployed with a further 40 currently in construction. Customers are
already beginning to enjoy advanced, feature rich data services, such as Mobile
Multimedia Services (MMS) including picture messages and other leading edge
wireless applications.
Rob Conway, CEO of the GSM Association said: "This consistent growth
demonstrates that GSM continues to be the most successful open standards model
in the wireless world and possibly the fastest growing technology ever."

"The technology behind the GSM family of wireless communications is evolving so
rapidly that identifying up-to-the-minute innovation from the dozens of
deserving entries was challenging," said judge Bill Best, CTO, GSM Association.
"But the years of industry experience sitting around the judging table ensured
it was not an impossible task - and consensus on the nominations was very clear
indeed."
Now in its second year, the Applications and Services category, sponsored by
Motorola, was especially popular. "The Applications & Services category entries
really demonstrate how the wireless industry is actively changing course,
emphasising more on a positive customer experience than merely pushing the
technology" commented judge Michelle de Lussanet, Senior Analyst, Forrester
Research. "More than 130 compelling corporate and consumer-orientated services
were entered from across the world - this is really encouraging for the future
of the wireless industry."
The final category, the GSM Association Chairman's Award, is designed to
recognise an organisation, individual or company that has made an outstanding
contribution to the development, success or growth behind the GSM family of
wireless communications. The Chairman's Award will be announced and presented
during the Awards ceremony in Cannes.
"This year our Awards have attracted record entries, top class judges and global
representation - I am sure the Ceremony in Cannes will be one of the most
talked-about showcases of the wireless industry in 2003," concluded Conway.

SingTel to offer 3G services by end of year
RELATED SYMBOLS: (SGTJY)
SINGAPORE, Jan 14, 2003 (Kyodo via COMTEX) -- Singapore Telecommunications Ltd.
(SingTel) will offer third generation (3G) mobile services by the end of this
year, a senior company official said Tuesday.
SingTel Mobile, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SingTel, will award a contract for
construction and development of its 3G mobile network by mid-year and offer
selected 3G services by year's end, Lucas Chow, SingTel Mobile chief executive
officer, said in a speech.
Two Japanese companies, NEC Corp. and Itochu Corp., are part of a consortium
that also includes Siemens IC Mobile, which has been shortlisted to compete with
two other entities, Nokia and Ericsson, in the 3G tender.
Singapore's telecom watchdog, the Infocomm Development Authority, has given an
ultimatum of the end of next year for the major telcos in Singapore to roll out
their 3G services.
3G is a new technology that offers the speed and bandwidth for applications such
as video telephony, real-time videoconferencing and broadband Internet access
for mobile phones. But its launch has been stalled by the uncertainties dogging
the telecom industry worldwide.
SingTel Mobile said in mid-2002 that it had decided to postpone the award of the
contract for construction and development of its 3G mobile network. But it added
that it expected to be able to offer 3G services on a selective basis in 2003.

Mercedes-Benz, NEC, Siemens Mobile and SingTel Mobile Jointly Premiere
RELATED SYMBOLS: (NIPNY)
Tokyo, Japan, Jan 14, 2003 (JCN Newswire via COMTEX) -- Mercedes-Benz, NEC,
Siemens mobile and SingTel Mobile jointly showcase the first car with integrated
3G-UMTS services worldwide. This industry-first 3G-UMTS car made its debut in
Berlin, Germany recently and is presented in Asia-Pacific for the very first
time.
In a specially fitted Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the partners demonstrate a
comprehensive portfolio of multimedia services which has become possible through
the use of the broadband 3G-UMTS mobile phone standard, based on Wideband Code
Division Multiple Access (WCDMA).
The 3G-UMTS services in the test vehicle cover a broad range of mobility and
infotainment services. In addition to live video conferencing capabilities
between two parties, there is high-speed video-streaming, which facilitates
heavier email downloads and video-on-demand. Other applications include an
interactive City Guide, broadband access to the various partners' portals and
the Internet, a video monitoring system, access to traffic observation cameras
international radio and a multi-player soccer game. The off-board navigation
system includes location guide and routing and traffic information in part with
video support.
The unique 3G-UMTS vehicle marks a breakthrough in mobile data applications for
businesses as well as entertainment and information offered with video support.
Content is transferred to the 3G-UMTS vehicle at an average transmission rate of
256 kBit/s. UMTS allows a maximum bandwidth in the vehicle of 384 kBit/s, up to
six times the normal dial-up speeds. The future vision of live video and music
downloads, video telephony and the ingenious off-board navigation system, which
uses up-to-date cartographic data via UMTS for destination finding, has become
reality.
The experience offered by this 3G-UMTS car showcase underlines the innovation
and leadership of the partners in their respective industry, and will support
their efforts to establish their 3G-UMTS business model and to develop future 3G
services.
Mercedes-Benz equipped the UMTS test vehicle with the appropriate operating
units and monitors and the link to the car infrastructure and the specification
of the UMTS services. "The UMTS test vehicle already created huge public
interest at its first presentation in Berlin some months ago. It helps us today
to create the necessary expertise to satisfy the demand of our customers for
mobile UMTS services of the future",says Frank Messer, President & CEO of
DaimlerChrysler South East Asia.
NEC provides the entire solution for the UMTS radio network to the world. In
Singapore, NEC has been working with Siemens Mobile through the strategic
alliance in the 3G business arena in establishing the UMTS infrastructure in the
current test 3G network in the CBD (Central Business District) area since 2001.
"The advent of 3G will lead to many new business opportunities and, apparently,
this 3G-UMTS car is one of them," said Ben Nakamura, Senior Vice President of
NEC Corporation. "NEC is the industry leader in the 3G area supplying commercial
infrastructure and handsets for the very first phase of 3G rollout in the world.
New solution utilising 3G applications such as 3G-UMTS car will accelerate the
expansion of 3G. NEC will fully support this project with our extensive
technical know-how and expertise in the 3G and mobile Internet field as well as
the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) field."
The Siemens Information and Communication Mobile Group (Siemens mobile) supplies
the entire technology for the UMTS core network and participates in the
development and implementation of the UMTS applications for the test vehicle.
"Worldwide Siemens mobile is one of the three leading suppliers for 3G-UMTS
infrastructure. Through this demonstration, Siemens is aligning itself fully to
3G- UMTS, the new generation in mobile telecommunications," commented Mr Thomas
Frischmuth, Managing Director, Siemens Pte Ltd. "And we are pleased that we can
present, together with our partners here today, innovative new ways to deliver
3G-UMTS services and demonstrate UMTS technology's versatility and
adaptability."
SingTel Mobile provided the customisation and localisation of the applications
and content for the 3G-UMTS car showcase. It also undertook the provisioning of
the local telecommunications infrastructure.
Said Mr Lucas Chow, Chief Executive Officer, SingTel Mobile: "Even as we work
towards a 3G network rollout, it is important for our customers to see the
potential benefits of having faster, more wide-ranging and more innovative
applications as promised by a broadband, high-speed wireless network.
"The 3G-UTMS car showcase today is an excellent example of how we are leveraging
convergence across all broadband access platforms to provide our customers with
seamless access to an entire suite of services and applications anywhere and
anytime ... even when you are on the move."
SingTel worked with BMG Singapore Pte Ltd, and Zomba Records (APRO) Pte Ltd to
provide the music videos, and Landmat International to provide the CityGuide
available in the 3G-UMTS car for the Singapore showcase. MediaCorp also provided
the Traffic Cam information and Channel 5 content for the Live TV application.
The UMTS S-Class is a pure test vehicle and was equipped especially for this
purpose with in-car PCs, with two flip-up 15-inch TFT monitors recessed into the
seat backs and wireless keyboards for the use of the 3G-UMTS services in the
rear. In a user-friendly way via an inbuilt touchscreen monitor the driver and
front seat passenger can access services such as a navigation. In addition, a
live video of recent traffic situations on the route is provided, but switched
off automatically above a speed of 6 km/h for safety reasons. The operating
elements, user interfaces and interaction processes in the test vehicle were
developed exclusively for the demonstration of the possible UMTS services. They
do not correspond with the requirements of a future UMTS solution for serial
production of any Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Here DaimlerChrysler attaches the
highest level of priority to mature technology and an optimum design of the
Man-Machine-Interface (MMI) to rule out any distraction of the driver.

Finland's Nokia ending partnership with South Korean firm to make phones
RELATED SYMBOLS: (NOK)
Helsinki, Finland, Jan 13, 2003 (AP WorldStream via COMTEX) -- Nokia Corp. said
Monday it remains committed to the South Korean phone market, but will no longer
work with a local partner to produce phones based on the CDMA technology being
used there.
The decision marks the end of Nokia's alliance with local manufacturer Telson
Electronics Co. Ltd. and, a spokesman said, is a result of Nokia's decision to
focus on phones that fit with the technology standards embraced by the Open
Mobile Alliance, which the proprietary CDMA standards in Korea do not.
"At the moment, the middleware platforms in Korea differ from operator to
operator in terms of what are the application technologies and what are the
browsing technologies," Kari Tuutti, the spokesman for Nokia's phone unit, told
Dow Jones Newswires. "We see that the momentum behind OMA, behind global
middleware platforms, is the way to go also in Korea."
Tuutti declined to discuss Nokia's product plans for Korea in detail, but said
the company does plan to provide phones for both of the next-generation, 3G
standards that will be used in Korea, CDMA-2000 and Wideband CDMA.
The move to sever ties with Telson is the latest strategy shift in Korea for
Nokia, which makes more than one out of every three mobile phones sold worldwide
but has struggled to make headway in the market for phones using CDMA,
particularly in South Korea, where local phonemakers Samsung Electronics Co. and
LG Electronics Inc. dominate.
CDMA is the largest standard in both Korea and the U.S. European operators and
some in Asia and the U.S. use GSM, or global system for mobile communications
technology, which is the world's largest cellular standard.
Nokia has said it hopes to boost its worldwide CDMA market share, which it
estimates at about 10 percent, in the next couple of years.

ACTIX: Mobilkom Austria selects Actix solutions for UMTS network
London UK, Jan 13, 2003 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Actix, the fast growing
mobile network performance optimization company, has announced that mobilkom
austria, Austria`s leading mobile network operator, is to use its Rollout
Verification Solution (RVS) and Accelerated Network Rollout (ANR) technology for
the analysis and optimisation of mobilkom austria`s recently announced UMTS
network.
mobilkom austria is one of the first European mobile operators to announce the
scheduled launch of its public UMTS network in 2003. The operator has
subsequently selected Actix` RVS and ANR solutions for the support of the
network optimisation strategy. Testing with Actix` solutions began in
mid-December 2002. The announcement comes at a time of rapidly increasing uptake
of Actix` wireless solutions by operators across Europe as they prepare their
mobile networks for the launch of next generation services.
mobilkom austria has been an Actix client for over three years, using Actix GSM
and GPRS verification and optimisation solutions. With its RVS and ANR
solutions, Actix will help mobilkom austria to overcome the current testing
problems caused by the lack of 3G handsets and to analyze the network
performance when logging test data on test phones in the early stage of network
development.
By combining the ANR and RVS technology, operators like mobilkom austria are
able to integrate handset data with scanner data to form a complete picture of
how their UMTS network will perform, allowing them to design and optimise their
networks for the future.
Fritz Klinger, Head of Division Operation and Maintenance, mobilkom austria
said: "We have chosen Actix solutions once again because they understand the
technical issues that mobile network operators face, and they have the solutions
to help us build and develop a mobile network that will deliver a reliable
service to our customers.
He added: "Quality of service will be fundamental to the successful uptake of
next generation services, and Actix` solutions are essential for the
optimisation of our network. By analysing and optimising our network now, we can
be confident of delivering a high quality service to our customers.
Actix` Chief Technology Officer, Jeff Atkins said: "Network analysis and
optimization are fundamental to ensuring that a mobile network is operating
efficiently and is capable of delivering the required levels of service. By
embodying the lessons learned in the optimization of CDMA - a technology that
has contributed significantly to the development of UMTS networks Actix`
solutions can help mobile operators to optimize their new networks at the
earliest possible stage.
With UMTS, larger amounts of data can be transmitted. Thanks to the greater
bandwidth of frequency channels (5 MHz instead of 200 kHz with GSM) the UMTS
radio network will enable multimedia applications. This means that with UMTS,
voice, data, text images, audio and video can be transmitted, leading to a
greater number of service that customers will be able to subscribe to.
However, in order for next generation services to succeed where previous
offerings have failed, it is imperative that operators can deliver service and
performance levels that are in keeping with a customer`s expectations for a
premium rate service. Actix solutions help operators to achieve this.
About Actix
Actix is a privately-held company, founded in 1991, which has established an
international reputation for developing market-leading performance optimization
and decision support solutions for all major digital and analogue mobile
cellular technologies. Actix has over 130 operator clients and over 2,000
engineers use its solutions in 20 countries.

TI Introduces Industry's First Single-Chip Digital Downconverter And
RELATED SYMBOLS: (TXN)
PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan 13, 2003 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Texas Instruments
Incorporated (NYSE: TXN) (TI) today introduced a new four-channel wideband
digital downconverter and upconverter that is ideal for radios in 3G wireless
base transceiver systems. The flexible four-channel device is the first chip
that provides both digital downconversion and upconversion functions in a single
package. Targeted mainly towards CDMA2000 and W-CDMA base station systems, the
new device also offers superior digital radio performance for other applications
such as wireless repeaters, cable modem radios, wireless instrumentation and
defense-based digital radio systems. (see http://www.ti.com/GC5016rls_wi )
TI's GC5016 enables wireless infrastructure manufacturers to take advantage of
the industry's best performance in digital down and upconversion in a single
device. It offers outstanding 3G performance with 150 MSPS clocking, flexible
wideband digital filtering, many input-output interfacing options and very low
power dissipation.
"We will be combining downconversion and upconversion blocks at even higher
levels of integration in future devices," said Brad Evans, systems engineer for
TI's wireless infrastructure radio products group. "This will give base station
manufacturers a proven low-cost high-performance option over developing
expensive in-house custom ASIC-based radio chain solutions."
Industry's Most Versatile Digital Converter
The GC5016 can provide either four channels of digital downconversion, four
channels of digital upconversion, or two channels of downconversion and two
channels of upconversion simultaneously. Using a single device for
downconversion and upconversion for receive and transmit functions,
manufacturers can drive costs down for base stations, macrocell, microcell and
picocell base stations as well as wireless repeaters. This also means that base
station radio engineers need to become familiar with only one device for both
downconverter and upconverter functions.
Each of the GC5016's four downconverter or upconverter channels can be
independently configured. Operating mode, tuning frequency, channel filtering,
automatic gain control and input-output options can be programmed over a
microprocessor bus. Channel filtering consists of a six-stage CIC filter and a
programmable FIR filter. The FIR filter provides up to 255 taps for UMTS and
CDMA2000 modes. Spurious-free dynamic range is an industry-best at better than
-115 dBC. Power dissipation is about 600 milliWatts when clocking at 100 MHz
with four channels configured for UMTS operation. Together, these features
provide performance better than any other 3G digital downconverter or
upconverter device available today.
Applications requiring wider bandwidth such as cable modem head-end systems,
wireless instrumentation and defense/aerospace radio systems can benefit from
the GC5016's special double-rate input and output mode enabling effective sample
rates to 300 MSPS, the fastest in the industry.
In downconversion mode, the GC5016 accepts signal data from an analog-to-
digital converter such as TI's 12-bit 80 MSPS ADS5410. The GC5016 tunes the
desired signal to baseband and then isolates the desired signal by applying
pulse-shape filtering. The isolated signal is then decimated and output for
subsequent chip-rate and symbol rate processing. Further signal processing and
demodulation is handled with a programmable DSP chip such as TI's TMS320C6416
DSP.
In upconversion mode, the GC5016 accepts complex digital signal data from a
baseband source. This signal data is then interpolated, pulse-shape filtered,
modulated to a programmed intermediate frequency, and then output to an external
digital-to-analog converter such as TI's 14-bit 125 MSPS DAC2904. The GC5016
also supports complex outputs for direct I/Q upconversion and power amplifier
digital pre-distortion linearization processing.
Download Free Datasheet Today
Limited preliminary samples of the GC5016 wideband digital downconverter and
upconverter are available today from TI at a price of $65 per 1,000 units.
Production devices will be widely available in the third quarter of 2003.

CEO, is currently available on CEOcast (http://www.ceocast.com). Hop-On's CDMA
phones, which provide a much-needed alternative to full service cellular
contracts and prepaid calling cards, are recyclable with a rechargeable battery
and the capability to add on additional minutes.
The interview will discuss Hop-On's growth outlook and disposable cell phones as
a low cost handset option for both domestic and international markets. Earlier
this year the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved Hop-On for the
world's first CDMA disposable cell phone. The initial model features Code
Division Multiple Access (CDMA), which is a digital wireless technology that was
pioneered and commercially developed by QUALCOMM. Hop-On's CDMA phone is a
digital, single mode cellular handset that operates in the 800 MHz frequency
band.
The interview is currently featured on CEOcast at http://www.ceocast.com and
will be accessible for the coming week.

I'll see where the day takes us. I'd rather keep a profit and buy back a little higher than risk losing a lot.
