Codetel awards Lucent Technologies $20 million 3G CDMA mobile network
contract
September 16, 2003
Lucent Technologies announced it was awarded a $20 million contract by
Codetel, a telecommunications operator in the Dominican Republic. Lucent
will provide equipment, software and services that will increase the capacity
and coverage of Codetel's existing CDMA mobile network and enable it to
support 3G CDMA2000 1X voice and data services.
With the CDMA2000 1X enhancements, Codetel, a unit of a Verizon can offer
businesses and consumers new high-speed mobile data services such as instant
messaging, e-mail and Internet access at speeds of up to 144 kbps and
double its voice capacity. Codetel is able to realize these benefits without
the need for additional spectrum or a substantial investment in new base
stations because simple software and channel card upgrades developed by
Lucent will be made to existing Lucent- supplied base stations. Software
upgrades also will be made to Lucent-supplied mobile switching centers.
In addition to these upgrades, Lucent will supply Flexent CDMA Modular
Cell 4.0 base stations to increase network coverage and capacity, and
Lucent Worldwide Services will provide engineering, installation, operations
and maintenance services.
As part of its integrated, end-to-end solution, Lucent also will supply
Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN) platforms from Cisco Systems, which enable
CDMA2000 operators to provide mobile data access to the Internet, as well
as corporate intranets and extranets.
"Lucent is enabling us to cost-effectively enhance and expand our CDMA
network so we can add new subscribers and offer advanced 3G services,"
said Isabel Morillo, Sr. Vice-president Network Operations, Codetel.
CDMA2000 is an advanced and efficient wireless technology being introduced
worldwide and an international 3G standard established by the International
Telecommunications Union (ITU). CDMA2000 cost-effectively evolves a multitude
of network technologies to support 3G services.
Lucent's Mobility Solutions Group is a provider of mobile networking
technologies, having deployed more than 80,000 spread-spectrum base stations
for mobile operators worldwide, of which more than 40,000 are supporting
3G services.
