Lucent Technologies Completes Industry's First Data Calls on Commercial

date: April 30, 2002

Lucent Technologies announced it has completed the industry's first high-speed data call on commercial 3G UMTS wireless equipment designed to support mobile service providers in the United States employing 1900 MHz or PCS spectrum.

Lucent implemented a variety of services including Web surfing, and video streaming on commercial-grade network infrastructure operating in the 1900 MHz spectrum band. The tests were conducted at data transmission speeds of up to 384 kbps.

These high-speed data calls were conducted using the Lucent UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) -- which complies with the 3GPP June 2001 Release 99 standard -- including the Flexent OneBTS base station for UMTS operators, the Flexent Radio Network Controller, Lucent's core packet data networking solution and a UMTS test terminal.

"These data calls serve to confirm Lucent's leadership in the development of 3G spread-spectrum technology such as UMTS," said Bruce Dale, vice-president for UMTS product and offer realization for Lucent's Mobility Solutions Group. "We can offer UMTS operators in the U.S. the industry's strongest end-to-end high-speed data solutions, solutions that will enable them to provide compelling new services to business customers."

These successful data calls are the most recent in a series of critical technical milestones Lucent has reached on the road toward the commercialization of 3G UMTS technology. For instance, Lucent recently introduced the industry's first combined voice and data processor for 3G networks, a Bell Labs innovation that offers substantial performance improvements for Lucent's UMTS base station equipment, and makes possible less power-hungry mobile devices.
