Pierre, I suggest anyone reading the Telstra/Nortel Australian CDMA press release go to: library.northernlight.com The SI linked version truncated a very significant sentence: SI link reads: When completed, the network is expected to include 2,100 base stations, and to provide service coverage capable of reaching 95 percent of the Telstra network includes first commercial deployment of Nortel Networks' CDMA Rural Cell base station, also known as 'Boomer' Cell. Actual release reads: When completed, the network is expected to include 2,100 base stations, and to provide service coverage capable of reaching 95 percent of the Australian population. The Telstra network includes first commercial deployment of Nortel Networks' CDMA Rural Cell base station, also known as 'Boomer' Cell. Given the wording, it's apparent that coverage will not be territorially complete.

Re: Boomers . . . Pierre's post about Nortel's rural boomer cells caused me a bit of concern, but after reading the description on the Nortel website, I have concluded that it is no serious threat to G*. At first they talk about 200km range under some conditions, but then describe the system as basically a 1 for 1 match for AMPS capabilities using CDMA. Yawn ! "The Boomer Cell lets you match AMPS coverage in more extreme coverage scenarios, thus reducing the need for in-fill sites that would typically be required to match rural AMPS coverage. As a true 1-for-1 overlay of AMPS rural service, the "Boomer" Cell gives you an easy to operate and maintain base station to reach residents and roamers in sparsely populated areas."
