Some more snips from the extremely interesting release, worth noting:
The 1XTREME proposal enables real time voice, data and multimedia services on existing cdma2000 networks ....
"1XTREME is a global open standards proposal, which offers
operators an orderly migration path beyond IS-2000 1X," said Neal Campbell, director of CDMA product operations for Motorola's Network Solutions Sector....
1XTREME was jointly presented to the Third Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) in Kyoto, Japan, on March 21, and will be presented to the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in Cheju, S. Korea on March 27. At these meetings, Motorola and Nokia will ask that 3GPP2 begin the standardization process for 1XTREME, which meets all requirements for ITU 3G standards.
"1XTREME is aimed to reach an open market with open standards and interfaces, something Nokia has always been committed to," said Nokia's Heikki Ahava, vice president, System Research and Standardization. "1XTREME is a further indication of Nokia working together with industry key players, to resolve issues that will ultimately enable early implementation of all Internet protocol (IP) core networks, based on Ipv6.
The 3GPP2 that has so far rejected CDG membership (last I heard)
Notable absence of what NOK's alleged contribution is
One year out for 1X enhancements; end of 2002 for 1XTREME--the time lines are drawn
On ITU 3G Standards: when will the world be given hard specs by which to evaluate the newest vapor?
As said by Ruff and slacker, NOK rushing to 1X/CDMA2000 under cover of a non-Q "standard".
Who knows what the technical specs and actual voice/data throughput of this latest technology by press release will be? I guess it can be thought of as North American version of DS (W-CDMA), or ATBQ (Anybody's Technology But Q's)
