Motorola to expand VIVO's CDMA 3G EV-DO mobile services

October 26, 2005

VIVO, the largest mobile telephone carrier in South America with more than 28 million subscribers, has extended its long-standing relationship with Motorola by granting an award to Motorola for further development of VIVO's CDMA network, additional Motorola SoftSwitches, and expansion of its CDMA 3G EV-DO high-speed mobile service. This award will help VIVO further the reach of its advanced data-rich applications and Push-to-Talk over Cellular offering to customers in the states of Sao Paulo, Parana and Santa Catarina.

"VIVO is continually seeking to pioneer innovations and, with high-speed services, we consolidated our leadership and we are making history in cellular telephony in Brazil. An example is VIVO Play 3G, our third generation service, which offers video, music and image download and streaming, including TV on mobile phones," said Javier Rodriquez, Technology vice president, VIVO.

"As the largest mobile operator in the Southern Hemisphere, VIVO is setting the pace for network evolution," said Mauricio Gomes, general director for Motorola Networks in Brazil. "By continuing to adopt Motorola's open, standards based technology, VIVO is ensuring that it will have the flexibility and scalability to quickly bring its subscribers the reliable, comprehensive service portfolio they need to seamlessly communicate, regardless of application."

In addition to helping VIVO further evolve to a robust network that is specifically optimized for data services, the network enhancements will enable the company to move data applications at faster speeds, reduce the overall costs of delivering data and more effectively manage planned network upgrades to maximize the re-use of existing infrastructure equipment. Already with initial deployments of its CDMA1xRTT service, VIVO customers have been able to access diverse entertainment, information and communication services including VIVO Torpedo SMS (cellular to cellular text messaging), VIVO Wap (mobile internet via cellular with instant messaging, e-mail, news services, etc.) and Chat da VIVO (chat environment with celebrities via Wap).
