Nortel Networks deploying CDMA2000 1X in four markets in China
September 17, 2003
Nortel Networks announced that China Unicom is deploying CDMA2000 1X
networks based on Nortel Networks solutions in four markets in China.
The deployments, which began in April 2003 and are expected to be fully
completed by the end of 2003, will enable more comprehensive coverage
and richer applications in Chongqing Municipality and in Zhejiang, Shandong
and Heilongjiang provinces.
These deployments are part of Phase 3 of China Unicom’s expansion of
its nationwide CDMA2000 1X network. Over the past two years, Nortel Networks
has supplied solutions to China Unicom for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the
expansion. Overall, the contracts underlying these deployments are estimated
to be worth approximately US$139 million.
These expansions will ultimately provide China Unicom with increased
CDMA2000 1X network capacity for close to six million subscribers in the
four markets, paving the way for end users to enjoy applications including
video gaming, Web surfing, Multimedia Messaging Service, and other high-speed
wireless data services.
According to information from the National Bureau of Statistics of China,
the four markets combined accounted for 20 percent of China’s total Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) in 2002. The expansion will also help China Unicom
to drive improved spectrum efficiency and reduced costs, and will position
the carrier to migrate to an all IP (Internet Protocol) packetized network.
The deployments for Phase 3 include Base Station Controllers (BSC),
Mobile Switching Centers (MSC), ‘Boomer’ Cells and other Base Transceiver
Stations (BTS). Nortel Networks is the only supplier with Wireless Data
Networks operating in all three advanced technologies - GPRS, CDMA2000
and UMTS.
Nortel Networks has designed, installed and launched networks - including
more than 35,000 ‘3G-ready’ base stations as of August 31, 2003 - for
more than 65 CDMA customers in 17 countries. Nortel Networks is implementing
CDMA2000 1X networks for large customers around the world, including:
Verizon Wireless and Sprint PCS in the United States; Bell Mobility and
TELUS Mobility in Canada; Telstra in Australia; and SMARTCOM PCS in Chile.
