Sprint signs $1 billion contract with Lucent to enhance nationwide PCS
network
July 22, 2003
Lucent Technologies and Sprint announced a major agreement to enhance
and upgrade the largest high-speed wireless network in the United States
with additional 3G mobile equipment from Lucent. The two companies signed
a new, multi- year contract valued at up to $1 billion, covering major
markets across the US from New York to California.
Lucent will provide Sprint with the Flexent CDMA Modular Cell 4.0 and
other advanced base stations, switching equipment, related software and
advanced services. When added to the network, these solutions are expected
to provide Sprint with improved performance and increased reliability
throughout its network, leading to an improvement in overall network quality
for millions of Sprint customers.
Under the agreement, Lucent will provide installation, integration, optimization
and Remote Technical Support services for Sprint's network upgrade.
Sprint built its nationwide PCS network based on CDMA technology, which
enables the cost- effective introduction of advanced mobile data services
and increases in voice capacity. Sprint said the new equipment from Lucent
will enhance Sprint's nationwide 3G1X network, increase coverage and capacity,
and enable Sprint to offer even more advanced data services based on CDMA2000
1xEV-DV technology in the future.
Chuck Naylor, sales vice president from Lucent said, "Our base station
equipment is designed with the future in mind so that Sprint can make
cost- effective and simple enhancements to deliver 1xEV-DV services to
its customers."
CDMA2000 is an advanced wireless technology being introduced worldwide
and an international 3G standard established by the International Telecommunications
Union (ITU).
