AT&T Wireless selects Nortel Networks and Ericsson to deploy W-CDMA networks
July 24, 2003
AT&T Wireless announced agreements with Nortel Networks and Ericsson
to deploy what is expected to be the first commercial W-CDMA wireless
network in North America. The W-CDMA network can support high speed VPN
access, audio and video applications, as well as advanced location-based
and m-Commerce features.
In December 2002, AT&T Wireless and DoCoMo announced an agreement to
work together to launch four U.S. markets using W-CDMA by the end of 2004.
The announced 3G build and commercial launch of service in these markets
will complement AT&T Wireless' national high speed EDGE network.
"These agreements position us to meet our DoCoMo commitments on time
and on budget," said Eric Updyke, Vice President - 3G Program Management.
"Our deployment of W-CDMA service will complement our nationwide EDGE
deployment, further differentiating AT&T Wireless as the industry leader
in bringing a new generation of mobile multimedia services to customers.
"Today's announcement represents a significant milestone in our drive
to deploy W-CDMA in four markets by the end of 2004," said Updyke.
The W-CDMA networks will allow AT&T Wireless to significantly increase
subscriber capacity, reduce networking costs and increase data speeds
required for delivering wireless broadband 3G services to consumers and
enterprise customers.
Pascal Debon, president of Nortel Networks, said "We look forward to
building on our success in delivering next generation wireless services
with AT&T Wireless, first through the deployment of a high-speed packet
core network, and now through this milestone deployment of W-CDMA radio
access."
"Since Ericsson and AT&T Wireless deployed the world's first 1900 MHz
UMTS demo system in Dallas last December, we have learned a lot about
what it will take to deliver commercial grade third-generation services
in the United States," said Toby Seay, Executive Vice President and General
Manager for Ericsson Inc.'s AT&T Wireless customer team. "We now look
forward to applying that knowledge together to help AT&T Wireless provide
its customers true 3G services on schedule."
The W-CDMA radio equipment will operate on the 1900 MHz spectrum and
use the same core equipment AT&T Wireless currently employs to support
advanced voice and data services through GPRS and EDGE radio technologies.
The deployments will also support an all IP-based network architecture,
significantly streamlining network functions.
