Ruff, go easy on us poor blokes on the right coast at this time of day--too late to digest something that meaty and long. Does give a sense of the inner sanctums for the challengers facing the electrical engineers. James snoring loudly; time for me to do the same. Best, Steve

Nortel Networks, TELUS Mobility Collaborate to Push CDMA Capacity Envelope, Achieve 30 Percent More Users Per Sector Across Digital Wireless Network Dallas, TX, November 19, 1999 -- Nortel Networks and TELUS Mobility have achieved a 30 percent improvement in radio frequency (RF) capacity for cdmaOne* (IS-95 CDMA) networks. Using the latest RF engineering tools and services from Nortel Networks, the companies have collaborated on design improvements that can increase RF capacity to an average of 17 users per sector, more than 30 percent better than the industry norm of 13. Calgary-based TELUS Mobility plans to implement these improvements throughout its digital wireless network, which is based exclusively on Nortel Networks CDMA infrastructure equipment. "Continued, skyrocketing demand for wireless challenges our ability to maintain high quality and capacity at reasonable cost," said David Miles, vice-president, network, TELUS Mobility. "Working closely with Nortel Networks, we've achieved a substantial RF capacity increase, enhancing the value of our network and helping us to control costs while continuing to deliver the highest-quality service to our customers." "It's critical to deliver advanced services to operators to maximize their network investment and control costs," said Dave Murashige, vice-president, marketing, Wireless Solutions, Nortel Networks. "This achievement allows us to do so while taking a fundamental step toward delivering next generation Wireless Internet services today." "Nortel Networks has a history of innovation in RF technology, and is continuing its efforts to keep costs in line while offering high quality, high performance and differentiating services," Murashige said. Nortel Networks CDMA RF innovations include multi-carrier traffic allocation, flexible power control setting, and enhanced hard handoff trigger. These and other innovations are part of Nortel Networks' Wireless Internet architecture, which ranked number one in a comparison of major global manufacturers published earlier this year by the Yankee Group. Based on this architecture, Nortel Networks has established a challenge goal to reduce the total cost to deliver a megabit of data over a wireless network from 37 cents to four cents within the next five years.
