Verizon Wireless launches San Diego 3G network powered by Nortel Networks
September 29, 2003
US Verizon Wireless and Nortel Networks announced the commercial launch
of a 3G wireless data network - referred to as BroadbandAccess - for customers
in San Diego.
The network in San Diego uses Nortel Networks CDMA2000 1xEV-DO (1X evolution-data
optimized) 3G technology, and is powered by Nortel Networks CDMA core
and access solutions. This packet-based network provides users with wireless
data at speeds up to 2.0 megabits per second, or about 16 times faster
than existing CDMA2000 1X networks. It supports rich applications and
virtual private network (VPN) connections, and allows businesses to experience
BroadbandAccess as an extension of their corporate LAN or intranets. This
allows them to work from any location with the same speed, security, authentication
and data protection as if they were working from their offices.
As part of the launch, Verizon Wireless is offering its first BroadbandAccess
subscriber device - the Verizon Wireless PC 5220 card. In the future,
Verizon Wireless plans to offer additional BroadbandAccess devices, including
cards, modems and a wide range of the latest handheld mobile devices.
"We are pleased to work with Nortel Networks to launch our 1xEV-DO wireless
network in San Diego," said Bill Stone, vice president of marketing, Verizon
Wireless. "Nortel Networks continually delivers innovative technology
that enhances our superior network offerings and ultimately helps us deliver
value-added services to meet the needs of our customers."
"Nortel Networks is delighted to work with the nation's largest wireless
operator in this major achievement," said Steve Slattery, president and
general manager, CDMA/TDMA, Wireless Networks, Nortel Networks.
"This is a significant milestone for the wireless industry and the entire
North American wireless telecommunications market," Slattery said. "Our
CDMA2000 1xEV-DO technology positions Verizon Wireless to offer advanced
wireless data applications for consumers and businesses, and to drive
new sources of revenue and maximize network investment. Today's launch
builds on Nortel Networks recent success in delivering 3G technology to
operators around the globe."
Nortel Networks CDMA2000 1xEV-DO solution for Verizon Wireless includes
Nortel Networks CDMA Metro Cell radio base stations equipped for 1xEV-DO,
Radio Network Controllers, Element Management System and related infrastructure.
The CDMA2000 1xEV-DO solution was implemented for Verizon Wireless through
an upgrade to their CDMA Metro Cell base stations.
Nortel Networks has been providing wireless equipment to Verizon Wireless
and its predecessor companies since 1996. In 2002, Verizon Wireless and
Nortel Networks conducted technology trials of 1xEV-DO in San Diego. In
September 2003, Nortel Networks announced an expansion and upgrade agreement
for Verizon Wireless' nationwide 3G voice and data network. The agreement
includes San Diego and other key markets.
