Qualcomm Congratulates PT Mobile-8 Telecom on Commercial Launch of Its
CDMA2000 1X Network
December 11, 2003
Qualcomm congratulates PT Mobile-8 Telecom (Mobile-8) on the commercial
launch of its CDMA2000 1X network in Indonesia. The 3G high-speed network
will be available to customers beginning today, Dec. 8, 2003. Mobile-8
will also commercially deploy CDMA2000 1xEV-DO technology and the BREW
system in Jakarta in the first quarter of 2004 to deliver mobile data
services at multi-megabit peak rates.
Additionally, Qualcomm has committed to making a strategic investment
of $25 million in Mobile-8 for a minority stake in the company upon Mobile-8
meeting terms and conditions of the investment agreement. The strategic
investment will support Mobile-8's continued development of its CDMA2000
1X and 1xEV-DO networks in Indonesia.
"Mobile-8's deployment of its CDMA2000 1X network and its upcoming pilot
of 1xEV-DO services represents a major step forward in Indonesian telecommunications,
and places the company in a highly strategic position within the telecommunications
industry in Indonesia," said Marshall Towe, vice president and managing
director of Southeast Asia for Qualcomm. "We are pleased to work closely
with Mobile-8 to help the company achieve its vision of making 3G services
a reality for Indonesians across the nation."
Mobile-8's network launch represents the first full mobility commercial
CDMA2000 1X deployment in Indonesia. The new high-speed wireless data
network will enable consumers to access a wide range of exciting new services
and applications. In addition to basic voice services, Mobile-8 expects
to be able to offer its customers wireless data services based on Qualcomm's
BREW system by the first quarter of 2004. The BREW solution enables wireless
subscribers to download useful and entertaining applications and content
such as games, ring tones, location-based services and business applications
wirelessly to their mobile phones.
"Qualcomm's commitment to invest in Mobile-8 is a reflection of our active
involvement in, and commitment to, the uptake of 3G technology in Indonesia,
which will give Indonesian consumers access to the best possible services
and applications, while generating substantial economic and social benefits
for the whole country," Mr. Towe added.
Qualcomm will also be working with other investors in Mobile-8, including
operations consultant, KTF, a leading South Korean wireless operator,
in furthering the development of Mobile-8's 3G networks.
Mobile-8 joins 66 other commercial 3G operators in 34 countries worldwide.
The extensive range of products and services enabled by CDMA2000 1X and
1xEV-DO has led to dynamic increases in subscription uptakes around the
world, with over 70 million 3G CDMA reported subscribers, as of November
28, 2003.
