Headline: Nortel (Northern Telecom) to Focus on Today's Lessons, Tomorrow's
Services at 1998 Second China CDMA International Summit in Beijing
======================================================================
BEIJING, March 23 /PRNewswire/ - Lessons learned from today's wireless
network deployments and preparation for tomorrow's third-generation wireless
services are the focus for Nortel (Northern Telecom) at the 1998 Second China
CDMA International Summit, opening today and continuing through Wednesday at
the China World Hotel in Beijing.
Dave Murashige, vice-president, marketing, CDMA Wireless Networks,
Nortel, will keynote the Tuesday morning opening general session with a
presentation entitled ''CDMA Cellular Deployment Experience.'' Murashige will
examine the business case for CDMA from the perspective of one of the world's
leading providers of CDMA and other digital wireless network solutions.
Later Tuesday morning, Man Fai Ng, vice-president, Wireless Networks,
Nortel China, will expand on that theme with his talk on ''Planning a CDMA
Cellular Network for Commercial Deployment in China.'' Nortel placed into
service a CDMA network trial for Shaanxi Great Wall Mobile Communications in
Xian in November of last year, just over four months after the contract was
signed.
Nortel is also heavily involved in the planning and development of
third-generation wireless services. Doug McGregor, director, CDMA product line
management, Wireless Networks, Nortel, will share Nortel's views on this
important topic in the Tuesday afternoon panel session on ''Assessing the
Evolution of CDMA Toward Third-Generation Mobile Communications Systems.''
The 1998 Second China CDMA International Summit, endorsed by China's
Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and sponsored locally by the China
Telecom Great Wall Network, includes an exhibition of CDMA network equipment
and services.
Nortel, one of the international sponsors of the event, will feature in
its exhibit the latest addition to the complete Nortel family of flexible,
cost-effective CDMA digital wireless network solutions - the Nortel FCP800
CDMA digital base station.
''This new base station enhances Nortel's solution for cellular operators
looking for maximum coverage and superior performance with a reduced
footprint,'' said Man Fai Ng.
Designed to address the issues of limited and expensive real estate
operators often face in wireless network deployment, the Nortel FCP800 base
station combines power and channel elements and RF components in a single
cabinet for scalability and a small footprint.
The Nortel FCP800 base station can easily migrate from an
omni-directional configuration to a three-sector design. It features low
receive sensitivity for improved coverage, and an integrated duplexer for easy
overlay of existing networks.
Nortel's exhibit will also feature the Nortel RF Optimizer and Nortel's
Virtual Home Location Register (VHLR). The Nortel RF Optimizer is an
easy-to-use software package which provides status reports on network
performance and detailed problem analysis. Nortel's VHLR allows one physical
Home Location Register to be divided into multiple partitions for use by
multiple networks.
''From top to bottom, Nortel's innovative CDMA platform provides a
flexible, cost-effective approach for wireless operators looking to move up to
the superior voice quality and advanced features of CDMA digital service,''
Man Fai Ng said. |
