Assyncronous W-CDMA said to suffer network instability when more than one phone is used. Clearly Europe has bought into a NOK total disaster.

BT Manx 3G project worst than revealed
date: May 21, 2001

The BT Manx 3G Project were having more problems than first reported according to NEC.

NEC said the reported problem was not limited to a lost connection when users moving between basestation coverage
range.

"The whole stability of the network is under questioned, it is not just to do with the handsets, the network just cuts you
off during a voice call at 30% of the time", a spokesman from NEC said.

A spokesman from BT said, "the problem is with the software in the radio network controller". The software is for
keeping the baststations synchronized during handovers. The spokesman claimed the network cuts off voice-call when
more than one handsets are using the same basestation simultaneously.
