Nortel to demonstrate 3G networks at 3GSM
February 19, 2004
Nortel Networks will have a large presence at 3GSM World Congress 2004 in Cannes, France, Feb. 23-26 and live demonstrations of its wireless data network solutions.
Nortel Networks presence this year will focus on '3G for Real,' the industry realization of live UMTS networking. Nortel Networks executives will also discuss the benefits of 'transformed networking' -- the convergence of wireline and wireless core networks into a single packet core that can support any access technology. Company representatives will also discuss the advantages of combinations of radio technologies that can help carriers drive down operating and capital expenses and increase average revenue per user (ARPU.)
Demonstrations of 2.5G and 3G services and networking capabilities will be provided across Nortel Networks wireless solutions portfolio - including UMTS, GSM, GPRS and EDGE air interfaces - at the Nortel Networks booth and in a private customer experience center at the Majestic Hotel. Demonstrations and presentations will include:
