Ericsson and Vesper, Brazil Announce LOU for CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
October 30, 2002
Ericsson today announced a Letter of Understanding (LOU) with Vesper
to supply a CDMA2000 1xEV-DO overlay system in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Ericsson's CDMA2000 1xEV-DO solution will support such 3G applications
as streaming audio, video and data transfers. Deployment is expected
to begin in Q1 2003 and the 1xEV-DO network is expected to be commercial
by mid-2003.
"Vesper has an aggressive plan to roll out 3G data services across
multiple Brazilian markets and we are committed to supporting them
with our leading products and expertise in 3G services and applications"
said Ake Persson, president of Ericsson Mobile Systems CDMA.
Offering peak data rates up to 2.4 Mbps in a standard 1.25 MHz
carrier, with a minimum average throughput of 600 Kbps, Ericsson's
CDMA2000 1xEV-DO solution is fully compliant with IS-856. It can
be simply added to existing CDMA2000 radio base stations or overlaid
on an existing CDMA network, enabling operators to provide customers
with high speed mobile Internet capabilities while efficiently utilizing
radio spectrum.
"It is our goal to continuously provide advanced communications
services for our customers. As the world leader in wireless technology,
Ericsson is a significant and strategic resource in allowing Vesper
to deliver 3G services and advanced data communications to our customers,"
said Luiz Kaufmann, president of Vesper.
"As the only supplier of systems for all major 2G, and 3G mobile
standards, this agreement reaffirms a long-standing relationship
with Vesper and we are proud to be chosen to supply 1xEV-DO in Rio,"
said Peter Kallberg, president of Ericsson in Brazil.
