ot New Nortel (Northern Telecom) CDMA Base Station Allows Wireless
Operators To Easily Add Coverage, Capacity
SINGAPORE, June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Wireless service providers face a number of challenges to running successful and
profitable networks, including extension of coverage in rural areas and along highways, and capacity and coverage
enhancements in urban and metropolitan areas.
A new Nortel (Northern Telecom) (NYSE: NT - news; TSE: NTL - news) CDMA base station introduced today at the third
annual CDMA World Congress addresses these challenges.
The latest addition to Nortel's comprehensive CDMA portfolio, the Nortel CDMA Minicell allows wireless operators to tailor
their networks to keep pace with the needs of an ever-growing subscriber base while keeping network expansion costs under
control.
Offering transmit power among the highest available today, it offers a large cell radius for rural and highway applications,
reducing the number of cell sites required to provide coverage in a given area. For in-building and high traffic needs, its unique
software control feature allows operators to reduce power output.
With a modular design that connects the digital enclosure and the radio module via fiber, the Nortel CDMA Minicell enables
the radios to be located closer to the antennas. This virtually eliminates signal loss, and provides unparalleled flexibility to
address complex siting issues with deployment options such as poles, walls, closets and basements.
Nortel CDMA digital wireless networks are in service or under construction in more than 80 cities around the world, serving
more than a million subscribers. Nortel has shipped more than 5,000 CDMA base stations in 18 mo |
