Sweden joins Alcatel's Worldwide 3G Reality Centre Program

date: May 30, 2002

Alcatel announced that its end-to-end 3G/UMTS platform in Malmö, Sweden, will be one of the key elements of Alcatel's Worldwide 3G Reality Centre Program. The Malmö facility, the first fully functional 3G/UMTS system in the Nordic region, displays since November 2001 the operational advantages that Alcatel's solutions offer to operators and carriers. In addition, it highlights Alcatel's commitment to the Nordic region's highly sophisticated market for mobile wireless services.

The 3G Reality Centre offers Alcatel and its partners, including local content and applications providers, a live and comprehensive end-to-end environment for the development and testing of advanced mobile applications and data services, in the field of 3G/UMTS.

Since November 2001, this network powered by Alcatel's Evolium commercial solutions, previewed an array of mobile data applications that demonstrated the power of 3G. The first live calls showed 3G's ability to video conference, perform high-speed downloads, access on-line information, act as a high speed web browser, transfer high-quality images and deliver streaming video. All this can be done using 3G-compatible devices such as PDA, laptop or handled device.

Alcatel successfully demonstrated an impressive 384 kbps stable data transfer rate while moving in a vehicle at a speed of 80 km/h around Malmö city; as well as the only live video conferencing communications with real UMTS terminals at 64 kbps in circuit mode.
