Compaq and Lucent join forces to accelerate availability of high-speed mobile data solutions for businesses

date: March 12, 2002

Compaq and Lucent Technologies announced a relationship that will accelerate the availability of wireless capabilities for devices such as the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC and Compaq Evo notebooks. This will allow enterprise customers to take advantage of the increased speed and capacity of 3G wireless networks, providing remote workers and traveling employees with secure, quick and easy access to corporate applications from any location.

Under the agreement, the two companies will collaborate to ensure compatibility of Compaq's iPAQ Pocket PC and Evo notebook PC (with Compaq 1xEV-DO MultiPort Module) with Lucent's 3G CDMA2000TM and UMTS wireless network equipment to provide mobile professionals with high-speed mobile data solutions such as wireless Web browsing, mobile e-mail and video streaming at speeds of up to 2.4 Mbps. The companies will also work together on product development and testing of CDMA2000 1X, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO and UMTS as well as joint-marketing activities and technical support of lab and field tests.

This collaboration between Compaq and Lucent is an important step to accelerate the introduction of high-speed data solutions for mobile operators worldwide and underscores both companies' commitment to delivering 3G wireless solutions for businesses.

"Lucent is helping 3G mobile operators capitalize on the valuable emerging market for high-speed mobile data services that enable secure communications between enterprise data networks and mobile users," said John Marinho, vice president of offer management, Lucent Technologies Mobility Solutions Group.
