Pat, from Nortel:
"An ATM-based architecture reduces networking costs, allowing for
data intensive IP-enabled applications as they become available."
The poit I would like to make is that ATM architecture becoming more and more adopted for carring IP services!!!

Nortel Networks to Unveil Newest CDMA Metro
Cell at Wireless '99
Indoor Version Includes Same Flexibility, High Capacity, 3G Readiness
DALLAS, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ - Nortel Networks (NYSE: NT/TSE: NTL) will unveil the newest member of its
advanced CDMA base station family - the indoor CDMA Metro Cell - next week in New Orleans at CTIA's Wireless '99.
Offering flexibility, high capacity and third generation (3G) readiness, the indoor CDMA Metro Cell provides an even more
compact, modular package, optimized for bringing the benefits of cdmaOne (IS-95 CDMA) digital wireless service into
metropolitan areas or suburban developments within indoor facilities.
Cellular operators with existing cell sites and PCS operators building in urban and suburban areas are expected to be among
the primary users of the new base station.
Trials of the Nortel Networks indoor CDMA Metro Cell are already underway with Telstra in Australia, and with Bell
Mobility and BC TEL Mobility in Canada. General availability is planned for the second quarter of this year.
The high capacity, modular design of the Nortel Networks indoor CDMA Metro Cell helps operators meet current and
projected traffic needs cost-effectively in urban and suburban indoor applications.
The Nortel Networks CDMA Metro Cell supports simultaneous 800 MHz and 1900 MHz service - an industry exclusive.
Scheduled to play a key role in pending cdma2000 (3G evolution of cdmaOne) trials with Sprint PCS and other operators,
the CDMA Metro Cell can be easily upgraded to 3G standards, lowering cost of ownership and enabling modular network
solutions in fixed, mobile and hybrid environments.
Nortel Networks' CDMA Metro Cells allow the radio enclosure to be located remotely from the digital enclosure for
flexible deployment. This is accomplished using a fiber connection, which eliminates signal loss, reduces installation costs and
provides the bandwidth required for future applications. An ATM-based architecture reduces networking costs, allowing for
data intensive IP-enabled applications as they become available.
The CDMA Metro Cell supports Nortel Networks' Smart Multi-Carrier Traffic Allocation (MCTA), the most advanced
load balancing software available. Smart MCTA allows CDMA network operators to manage call traffic dynamically,
increasing network capacity up to 20 percent over more traditional MCTA designs.
