GTRAN Wireless and Qualcomm Expand License Agreement to Include 1xEV-DO Development

date: August 12, 2001 - source: Qualcomm

GTRAN Wireless, a designer and developer of wireless data products announced that they have expanded the terms of its existing CDMA license agreement with Qualcomm to include CDMA2000 1X Evolution (1xEV) development to enable high-speed wireless packet data solutions. Qualcomm has granted GTRAN Wireless a license under certain Qualcomm intellectual property to develop, manufacture and sell modem card products for wireless applications utilizing cdmaOne (IS-95A/B) and 3G CDMA air interface technologies including cdma2000 1X/1xEV and WCDMA. CDMA2000 1xEV-based products will enhance.

With this agreement, the Company will be developing wireless terminals that will reach speeds of up to 2.4 Mbps using the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT) MSM5500 Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipset and system software.

Recently, GTRAN Wireless was the first to launch a true PCMCIA Type II data card solution for CDMA CDMA2000 1X systems. Deployed on Korea Telecom Freetel's network, this card has been very successful in providing wireless Internet access at 153 kbps (CDMA2000 1X).

CDMA2000 1xEV provides a spectrally efficient peak rate of up to 2.4 Mbps in a standard 1.25 MHz channel bandwidth. Optimized for packet data services, CDMA2000 1xEV incorporates a flexible architecture based on standard IP that allows flexible, high-performance and cost-effective implementations. As a complementary solution to voice networks utilizing operators' existing cell sites, towers, antennas and network equipment, CDMA2000 1xEV technology allows operators to leverage their current infrastructure investment and cellular/PCS networks. CDMA2000 1xEV can also be implemented as a stand-alone system using off-the-shelf IP backbone equipment. CDMA2000 1xEV is compatible with IS-95A, IS-95B and cdma2000 1X networks, allowing existing cdmaOne service providers to obtain higher capacities and superior performance by optimizing voice and data spectrum separately, serving both applications from the same network.
