Vesper testing CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
February 15, 2003
Brazilian local exchange carrier Vesper has begun tests of its
trial-phase CDMA2000 1xEV-DO 3G network, the company said in a press
release.
The operator will use 100 test subjects which will evaluate daily
the following variables: signal quality, installation simplicity,
data transmission speed, technical support, among others.
Vesper expects to launch 1xEV-DO services in the Sao Paulo metro
region before the end of March, making it Latin America's first
3G operator. Equipment will be supplied by Canada's Nortel Networks.
CDMA technology was patented by US-based supplier Qualcomm, which
is also Vesper's controlling shareholder.
In November last year Vesper purchased three PCS licenses. However,
according to local regulations the licenses can only be used on
the 1800MHz band, designated solely for GSM technology. Vesper is
currently trying to convince the local regulator Anatel to bend
the rules so that it can use its 1900MHz spectrum for fixed-wireless
services to launch CDMA-based mobile services.
