Nortel secures 3G UMTS/HSDPA trials with Edge Wireless

November 15, 2005

Nortel announced that it has been selected by Edge Wireless, LLC, to expand its wireless voice and data network in four states across western United States. Nortel's GSM/GPRS/EDGE technology has enabled Edge Wireless subscribers to receive advanced services such as Web browsing, streaming audio and video, multimedia messaging, VPNs and other high-speed wireless broadband services.

In addition, Nortel and Edge Wireless will begin UMTS and HSDPA 3G field trials this month to demonstrate video streaming, gaming, web browsing and FTP downloads at speeds reaching 1.5 Mbps, which is similar with DSL or a cable connection.

"Our network expansion and UMTS/HSDPA trial are essential to ensuring our customers have the highest quality service and most advanced applications on the market today and into the future," said Donnie Castleman, president and chief operating officer, Edge Wireless.

"Nortel is pleased to work with Edge Wireless as it evolves its network and prepares for the delivery of the additional advanced wireless broadband services, including UMTS/HSDPA, reliably and quickly," said Peter MacKinnon, president, GSM/UMTS Networks, Nortel. "Nortel's wireless technology helps operators increase revenue potential by leveraging existing network investments and supporting the delivery of high-speed, sophisticated services subscribers desire."

Under the terms of the agreement, Nortel will continue to supply Edge Wireless with new radio base stations and high-capacity base station controllers, switching, GSM/GRPS/EDGE software, and professional services including installation, maintenance, and support. Nortel will also deploy its UMTS/HSDPA Release 4 (R4) technology, which continues Edge Wireless' evolution to a packet switched network.
