U.S. Cellular selects Lucent for 3G wireless network
December 17, 2002
In an agreement that builds upon an existing relationship, Lucent
Technologies announced that it has signed a $100 million agreement
with U.S. Cellular for the deployment of 3G CDMA 1XRTT infrastructure
equipment and professional services. The network equipment will
support U.S. Cellular's conversion to CDMA 1XRTT technology, which
began in October 2002 and is scheduled for completion in 2004.
Under the five-year agreement, Lucent will upgrade U.S. Cellular's
existing Lucent-supplied base stations, as well as add new base
stations to support the wireless service provider's CDMA 1XRTT offerings.
Lucent will also provide engineering, installation and other professional
services for U.S. Cellular as it continues to deploy CDMA 1XRTT
technology across its wireless network.
"This agreement will enable U.S. Cellular to provide our customers
with a more robust network and advanced wireless services," said
Michael S. Irizarry, executive vice president of engineering and
chief technical officer for U.S. Cellular. "Lucent's reliable, high-performing
CDMA technology will not only improve voice clarity and offer greater
service reliability, but also position our company for future growth."
"We are pleased that U.S. Cellular continues to rely on Lucent
to deliver superior service to its customers," said Jim Brewington,
president of Mobility Solutions Group at Lucent Technologies. "Lucent
is pleased to work with U.S. Cellular as it delivers excellent quality
voice and high-speed data services to both consumers and business
customers."
CDMA is a wireless transmission standard that sends digitized transmissions
of encoded speech over the airwaves and then uses a unique code
to reassemble it in its original format at the receiving end. CDMA
assigns a unique electronic code to each call signal and allows
many more simultaneous calls over a service provider's network.
