Alcatel announces it has set up in Madrid a wide range of innovative 3G/UMTS mobile services, conducting voice, data and video communications.

For the first time, 64Kbps circuit switched videotelephony international communications have been set up between a 3G/UMTS mobile terminal located in Madrid and another one located in Alcatel 3G Reality Centre in Italy.

In video streaming, reaching 384 Kbps in packet mode, 3G terminals feature clips of the latest movie releases or the latest goals scored during the at the 2002 Soccer World Cup along with live TV signals.

Since November, this first fully functional 3G/UMTS system in the capital of Spain has been showcasing the operational advantages that Evolium 3G/UMTS infrastructure solutions can offer to operators and carriers in the mobile wireless services' world.

In 3G field, Alcatel scores again, proven the quality of the UMTS Evolium infrastructure in the area of high-speed data & video transfers".
