Lucent to trial 3G W-CDMA network in Miami with AT&T Wireless
October 9, 2003
Lucent Technologies announced that it is working with AT&T Wireless to
deploy a 3G W-CDMA trial network in the greater Miami area to evaluate
mobile voice and high-speed data services. Lucent already has achieved
several key milestones in the project - its first 3G W-CDMA deployment
in North America - including the successful completion of a series of
voice and data calls on the network.
Lucent is supplying AT&T Wireless with an end-to-end mobile network based
on 3G W-CDMA technology, also known as UMTS. The network will incorporate
Lucent's Flexent OneBTS base stations and core packet networking solution
- which includes the Lucent Softswitch and data networking platforms from
Cisco Systems, including the Cisco Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) and
MGX 8000 Series Media Gateways. Lucent also is supplying AT&T Wireless
with W-CDMA wireless PC modem cards, which support high-speed data connections
on laptops, PDAs and other mobile devices.
"Lucent's solution offers us a great opportunity to explore and evaluate
the range of services that 3G W-CDMA will enable us to make available
to our customers," said Eric Updyke, vice president - 3G Program Management,
of AT&T Wireless.
3G W-CDMA will enable people to download video clips of films, sporting
and entertainment events; send and receive e-mail on the go; and locate
nearby services such as ATMs, restaurants or theaters. This advanced mobile
communications technology also will enable businesses to provide their
employees, such as field service personnel, with high-speed mobile access
to their corporate networks and business applications they normally use
in the office.
"AT&T Wireless is a leader in the introduction of cutting-edge wireless
services in North America," said Roger Derrien, vice president, UMTS product
management, for Lucent's Mobility Solutions Group. "We're pleased to be
working with them on this trial deployment of 3G high-speed data and multimedia
services."
The W-CDMA network will operate in AT&T Wireless' 1900 MHz spectrum,
and will be based on an Internet Protocol (IP) architecture that can offer
substantial increases in network efficiency, and support a wide variety
of multimedia services.
While this is the first trial in North America, Lucent has additional
3G W-CDMA/UMTS pilot network deployments underway in Europe. Lucent is
a leading global provider of mobile networking technologies, having deployed
more than 80,000 spread-spectrum base stations for mobile operators worldwide.
Spread-spectrum technology is the basis for 3G W-CDMA (UMTS) and CDMA2000
networks.
