CDMA2000 Evolution Path Provides Significant Boost in the Introduction of All-IP, Next-Generation Multimedia Technologies
http://www.primezone.com/newsroom/news.html?d=101245
COSTA MESA, Calif., June 26, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Manufacturers commented today on the strength of the CDMA2000(r) 3G evolution path, the CDMA Development Group (CDG) (www.cdg.org) reports. Specifically, manufacturers emphasized that 1xEV-DO's migration to Revisions A through C ensures the technology's ability to deliver vital advanced broadband services. Many of the world's top-tier operators, including KDDI, LG Telecom, Sprint Nextel, Verizon Wireless and Telecom New Zealand have committed to, or are already in the process of, deploying the all-IP technology.
"The deployment of Revision A is a major milestone in the delivery of next-generation wireless broadband, and is an important step towards converged voice and data services," said Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDG. "Through an easy upgrade of existing networks, CDMA2000 vendors will enable operators to retain their first-to-market status with these capabilities."
CDMA2000 vendors commented:
-- AIRVANA: "CDMA2000 will deliver next-generation broadband
services long before the competition," said Paul Callahan, vice
president of business development for Airvana. "EV-DO, Rev. A
will bring high-quality mobile VoIP to consumers and businesses
years ahead of UMTS."
-- QUALCOMM: "CDMA2000 has already greatly changed the lifestyles
of millions of people around the globe by offering a broad
range of services," said Jeffrey K. Belk, senior vice president
of marketing for QUALCOMM. "The next evolution of EV-DO will
take mobile broadband to the next level, enabling access to
highly compelling, fully integrated voice and data services."
-- LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES: "The CDMA2000 roadmap cost-effectively and
efficiently enables operators to deliver new, next-generation
services that blend voice, data, video and multimedia
capabilities," said Tom Goodwin, regional CTO, Lucent
Technologies Asia Pacific. "It also will help CDMA2000 operators
remain at the cutting edge of wireless communications for years
to come."
-- MOTOROLA: "In terms of services and applications, CDMA2000's
migration path offers a very compelling package to subscribers,"
said Bruce Stone, senior vice president, Motorola. "The advanced
capabilities of Revision A will deliver a new generation of
wireless data services faster and more efficiently than ever
before, providing users more choices and an enhanced wireless
experience."
-- NORTEL: "CDMA2000 and its evolution enables critical, real-time
applications that benefit end-users while improving spectral
efficiency, driving a competitive advantage for operators," said
Doug Wolff, vice president and general manager, CDMA, Nortel.
"Because the CDMA2000 solution can be easily evolved from the
existing infrastructure, it provides significant investment
protection for operators as they roll out mobile broadband
services."
1xEV-DO has been commercially available since January 2002 and is leading the way for all mobile broadband technologies globally. Today, there are 37 commercial 1xEV-DO networks in 24 countries and 40 more are being deployed. In Q1 2006, 1xEV-DO added six million users to reach a total of 30 million subscribers. In addition, there are 280 1xEV-DO-ready devices on the market. CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Revision A is an enhanced version of 1xEV-DO Release 0. Revision A is optimized for packet data service, and supports peak data rates of 3.1 Mbps on the forward link and up to 1.8 Mbps on the reverse link. Revision A also reduces system latencies to support delay-sensitive applications.
