Qualcomm Congratulates Telesp Celular and Telefónica Celular on
the Expansion of their 3G Networks
December 17, 2002
Qualcomm congratulates Telesp Celular and Telefónica Celular, two
of the largest Brazilian mobile operators with a combined total
of 13.5 million subscribers, on their 3G CDMA2000 1X network expansions
in the country’s southeastern region.
Telesp Celular announced on Thursday, December 12, 2002, its new
CDMA2000 1X network operations in the cities of Santo André, Sáo
Bernardo, Sáo Caetano do Sul and Santos. There are also CDMA2000
1X networks being installed in Baixada Santista, Campinas, Jundiaí
and Vale do Paraiba, in the state of Sáo Paulo and Curitiba, Parana.
More than 600 companies have adopted the high-speed wireless Internet
service to improve their corporate productivity. This month Telesp
Celular is also celebrating the one year anniversary of its CDMA2000
1X service in Sáo Paulo, the first commercial 3G network in Latin
America.
"The demand for additional coverage, services and applications
by our enterprise consumers is the leading reason for Telesp’s expansions,"
said Gilson Rondinelli, president of Telesp Celular. "Our customers
have generated approximately 100 gigabytes of data traffic per month,
having increased our data revenue 400 percent in the last six months.
The expansions will allow us to continue offering more enhanced
data services in these regions, while solving our voice capacity
needs for the next few years."
Additionally, Telefónica Celular launched its CDMA2000 1X mobile
services in the main areas of Vila Velha, Cariacica, Serra and Vitoria,
as well as the ocean coast of Vitoria and Vila Velha in the state
of Espírito Santo. Telefónica Celular currently has 3G networks
operating in the state of Rio de Janeiro, including airport areas,
downtown, southern and western regions, Recreio dos Bandeirantes,
Barra da Tijuca and Itanhanga.
