VIVO selects Lucent for 3G CDMA2000 1X expansion in Brazil
January 7, 2004
VIVO, the largest mobile operator in Brazil, and Lucent Technologies
announced an agreement to expand VIVO's 3G CDMA2000 1X network. The Lucent-supplied
network, software and services will enable VIVO to provide subscribers
in a variety of new locations with advanced voice and high-speed data
services such as mobile Internet access at speeds of up to 144 kilobits
per second.
Under terms of the agreement, the 3G network expansion will cover Sao
Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and other regions in both states including the cities
of Praia Grande (SP), Teresopolis (RJ) and the Lakes region (regiao dos
Lagos, also in the state of Rio de Janeiro).
"With the expansion of our 1X network, VIVO will increase its offerings
of advanced services, such as voice and broadband data transmission, bringing
more efficient and higher speed mobile services to our customers," said
Javier Rodriguez Garcia, Technology and Networks vice president for VIVO.
"This improves our network, increases the existing coverage and capacity,
and enhances the availability of our high-speed data network for our corporate
users' day to-day mobile activities. With this project, VIVO reinforces
its leading position and commitment to continuously improve network quality
and customer satisfaction."
The network expansion will be completed in early 2004. Lucent will provide
more than 500 base stations, primarily Flexent Modular Cell 4.0 base stations
-- part of the Bell Labs-developed OneBTS family of base stations, which
support multiple spread-spectrum technologies including CDMA2000 1X, 1xEV-DO,
1xEV-DV and W-CDMA/UMTS -- and new mobile switching centers.
Lucent Worldwide Services (LWS) will provide network installation, deployment,
maintenance, RF optimization and consulting services. LWS will ensure
the project's success and deliver exceptional network quality of service
for VIVO's customers by leveraging its Professional Services experience
as well as 3G network deployment methodologies, processes and tools from
Bell Labs.
"We are excited about working with VIVO on this new 3G network expansion,
having already deployed 3G networks for VIVO in the two largest Brazilian
markets," said Jose Roberto Campos, president of Lucent Technologies in
Brazil. "This expansion will feature our latest and most advanced mobile
networking equipment and protect VIVO's investment, enabling the immediate
implementation of CDMA2000 1X services, and supporting the evolution to
more advanced CDMA2000 solutions such as 1xEV-DO and 1xEV-DV, or even
W-CDMA/UMTS in the future."
