Qualcomm and Lucent Successfully Demonstrate UMTS Packet Data

date: June 26, 2002

Qualcomm and Lucent Technologies announced the completion of a series of 3G UMTS packet data calls. This was the first such demonstration of UMTS packet data services with commercial 3G infrastructure and chipsets for mobile devices.

Using a commercial-sized Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT) UMTS test mobile featuring QCT’s MSM5200 Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipset and system software connected to a laptop, and Lucent’s commercial-grade UMTS infrastructure, the two companies demonstrated high-speed streaming video, Web browsing and access to a corporate network via an Internet Protocol (IP) virtual private network (VPN).

This cooperative effort demonstrates that Qualcomm’s UMTS chipsets and Lucent’s infrastructure can support packet data on UMTS mobile devices, including mobile phones, Web-enabled personal digital assistants, wireless modem cards for laptop computers and other wireless devices.

These successful data calls are the most recent milestones that Qualcomm and Lucent have realized in their mutual efforts to speed the commercial introduction of UMTS technology. In January, the two companies completed a series of voice calls using Qualcomm UMTS test handsets and Lucent UMTS infrastructure.

"Qualcomm and Lucent both recognize the importance of high-speed packet data for 3G systems," said Luis Pineda, vice president of product management for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. "Our two companies have been working together for several years to bring these capabilities to the marketplace, and this successful demonstration highlights our continued commitment to UMTS."

"These successful packet data calls further underscore Lucent’s and Qualcomm’s leadership in the development of 3G spread-spectrum technologies such as UMTS," said Bruce Dale, vice-president for UMTS product and offer realization for Lucent’s Mobility Solutions Group.
