Alcatel at Telecom 99 - Hall 4, stand n(degree) 210
GENEVA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 1999-- Alcatel and Motorola have announced the live demonstration of the jointly developed UMTS Terrestrial
Radio Access Network (UTRAN) at Telecom 99. Identical equipment and basic functions will be shown live on both stands.
On show at the Motorola Stand at Telecom 99, the groundbreaking W-CDMA air interface demonstration will showcase the capabilities of third generation
cellular technology to deliver two way data services, advanced IP based multimedia applications and wireless video communications.
On the company's stand, Alcatel's 3G Mobile global approach - infrastructure, applications and services - is demonstrated via a third generation concept
terminal - the Alcatel mobile evolution vision. Visitors will be able to dive into the multimedia wave with applications including Web browsing, video net
meeting, e-mail and e-commerce.
The UTRAN solution on show includes both cellsite and terminal components supporting a variety of applications, and is real time proof of the technology
being developed to enable mobile access to leading-edge Internet services. Visitors to Telecom 99 can experience the capabilities of 3G, and can see the first
results of the cooperation agreement announced by Motorola and Alcatel earlier this year.
The UTRAN solution leverages the extensive experience of Alcatel and Motorola in the development and implementation of both radio and core network
solutions in GSM and CDMA wireless networks. The timely delivery of commercial UTRAN systems will enable cellular network operators to take early
advantage of the first wave of third generation deployment, and bring the promise of third generation to the commercial market. The cooperation agreement,
announced in February this year, includes the joint development by Alcatel and Motorola of total, integrated CDMA digital network infrastructure and Third
Generation Mobile communications network offering.
The agreement allows both companies to leverage their complementary resources, including research and development expertise, and will help to ensure
customers have rapid access to the latest technologies with closely integrated systems and faster product availability to both CDMA solutions and new future
UMTS applications. |
