AT&T and CDMA? news.excite.com Nortel Wins Wireless Supply Deal From AT&T Updated 2:40 PM ET December 10, 1999 TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian communications gear maker Nortel Networks Corp.(NT.TO) said Friday it won a deal from AT&T (T.N) to supply wireless equipment and services which could be worth $600 million over three years. Nortel said it plans to leverage the relationship, part of the multi-vendor strategy unveiled by AT&T in August, "to play a role in increasing the capacity, coverage, reliability and cost efficiency of the nationwide AT&T Wireless network." The Brampton-based company said it expects to supply time division multiple access (TDMA) IS-136 wireless equipment and services to AT&T in Arizona, California -- including Los Angeles -- Nevada, Oregon and Washington. TDMA is one of two standards for wireless telephone networks. Nortel said it also expects to play a role in the evolution of the AT&T Wireless network to 3G.IP, an Internet protocol architecture for third-generation mobile communications services. "This relationship with Nortel Networks will help us stay ahead of growing wireless demand as reflected in the success of many of our bundled services, including Digital One Rate and AT&T's Wireless Family Plan," Dan Hesse, president and chief executive officer, AT&T Wireless Services, said in a statement.
