Lucent to participate in field testing of 3G mobile technologies in China
December 8, 2003
Lucent Technologies today announced that it will participate in field
testing of 3G mobile networking technologies, which is being sponsored
by China's Ministry of Information Industries (MII). As part of the testing
regime, Lucent will team up with China Netcom for W-CDMA trials in Shanghai
and China Telecom for CDMA2000 trials in Guangzhou.
The trials will be conducted over networks of various service providers
in China using 2.1 Gigahertz (GHz) spectrum, which is to be allotted to
operators to launch commercial 3G services. The trials will involve live
voice and high-speed data calls, and compatibility tests between the network
equipment of participating vendors.
"The trials provide an ideal opportunity for Lucent to showcase its leading
3G solutions and demonstrate its long-term commitment to China's mobile
communications market," said Jason Chi, chairman and president of Lucent
Technologies China. "As the global leader in 3G spread-spectrum technologies,
Lucent is well-positioned to work closely with Chinese service providers
on these future 3G deployments."
"One of the major challenges for service providers as they migrate to
3G is the uncertainty around various technologies and the demand for the
services these technologies make possible," said Jim Brewington, president
of Lucent's Mobility Solutions Group. "Given the extensive experience
Lucent has in virtually every segment of today's mobile communications
market, we are confident that we can help operators in China explore their
options, and make their investment decisions with peace of mind that those
investments will be fully protected."
Lucent's strength in 3G is backed by a tremendous amount of expertise
in spread-spectrum technology, the basis of both CDMA2000 and W-CDMA/UMTS
networks, providing service providers with smooth migration paths to next-generation
services while maximizing their existing investments.
Lucent is leading the world's 3G mobile industry, with an installed base
of more than 80,000 spread-spectrum base-stations in commercial networks
worldwide, more than 50,000 of which support 3G services. Lucent has deployed
CDMA2000 1X networks with more than 25 mobile operators on the continents
of North and South America, Asia, Europe and in the Australia/New Zealand
region.
Lucent continues to lead the way in development and deployment of CDMA2000
solutions. For instance, Lucent recently helped Verizon Wireless launch
a commercial 3G CDMA2000 1xEV-DO network in the Washington, D.C.-area
to provide business customers with secure mobile access to corporate applications
such as e-mail and Intranets at data transmission speeds comparable to
the fastest wireline connections. Lucent also was the first vendor in
North America to complete CDMA2000 voice and high-speed data calls for
2.1 GHz spectrum.
Lucent also is collaborating with major UMTS/W-CDMA operators in Europe
and North America on the development of their 3G networks. Lucent recently
announced that the company is working with AT&T Wireless to deploy a 3G
W-CDMA trial network in the greater Miami area to evaluate mobile voice
and high-speed data services. Additionally, Lucent continues to collaborate
with T-Mobile in Germany, and Telefonica Moviles in Spain on UMTS pilot
network initiatives offering high-speed mobile data services to business
customers.
Lucent remains totally committed to China's mobile communications industry.
Earlier in the year, Lucent successfully completed interoperability testing
of its W-CDMA systems with key suppliers in China, and announced a sizable
investment in a 3G research and development facility in Nanjing, and additional
investment in softswitch R&D in Qingdao. Lucent also successfully completed
trials with MTNet earlier this year of both W-CDMA and CDMA2000 for 2.1
GHz spectrum. The testing involved voice and high-speed data calls as
well as interoperability testing with other telecom equipment venders
in China. These activities have served to further enhance Lucent's leadership
and competitiveness in China's mobile communications market.
