Vodafone was lying claimed BT on 3G voice call
date: April 17, 2001 - source by: 
netimperative.com
Vodafone has claimed to have completed the UK’s first 3G voice call,
although BT Wireless previously claimed the same accolade on March 19
this year.
The announcements from BT and Vodafone concern the placing of calls over
trial networks, located in Slough and the Thames Valley respectively.
However, bearing in mind that operators told investors that 3G would offer
data speeds of 2Mbps, the placing of a voice call (currently possible
via GSM) is hardly massive progress.
BT-owned Manx Telecom’s 3G network is currently under construction, and
should be working within weeks, according to the company.
Mark Briers, project manager Manx Telecom, said: “We are currently connecting
our 3G radio sites to the core network, and took delivery of 3G video
handsets last Wednesday – I would say we are a bit further ahead than
Vodafone here!”
The Manx 3G network is due to launch commercially by early May, while
Vodafone has claimed that UK 3G rollout will occur by June 2002.
BTCellnet’s 3G supplier is Nortel, Manx is using Siemens, while Vodafone
has gone for an Ericsson-built network.
