Midwest Wireless launches 3G network using Nortel Networks solution
June 2, 2003
US Midwest Wireless announced the commercial launch of the first phase
of its 3G CDMA2000 1X wireless network based on an infrastructure solution
from Nortel Networks.
This deployment spans 68 counties in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. More
than 50 percent of Midwest Wireless' total operational area is now enabled
with CDMA2000 1X technology, constituting more than two-thirds of the
population served. The remainder of Midwest Wireless' network is expected
to be 1X-enabled by the end of 2003.
The CDMA2000 1X Wireless Data Network positions Midwest Wireless to boost
network capacity to accommodate a greater number of voice calls. CDMA2000
1X can double voice capacity and support wireless data speeds of up to
153 Kbps, roughly 10 times faster than rates available through circuit-based
technology. The network also positions Midwest Wireless to expand its
line of sophisticated wireless services, including advanced data features
for e-mail access and mobile Web browsing.
Nortel Networks was originally selected by Midwest Wireless in September
2002 to supply CDMA2000 1X radio access and Internet Protocol (IP) core
infrastructure equipment. Network deployments began in the fourth quarter
of last year, and are expected to continue through 2003.
The CDMA2000 1X deployment is part of a nine-year relationship between
the two companies. Nortel Networks previously supplied TDMA network equipment
to Midwest Wireless.
Products from Nortel Networks Univity Wireless Data Network portfolio
deployed for Midwest Wireless include Univity CDMA Metro Cell radio base
station (BTS), Univity CDMA Base Station Controller (BSC), and Univity
CDMA Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN) equipment.
