>> BT Manx 3G Project Worst Than Revealed

May 21, 2001

The BT Manx 3G Project were having more problems than first reported according to NEC.

NEC said the reported problem was not limited to a lost connection when users moving between basestation coverage range.

"The whole stability of the network is under question, it is not just to do with the handset, the network just cut you off during a voice call at 30% of the time", a spokesman from NEC said.

A spokesman from BT said, "the problem is with the software in the radio network controller". The software is for keeping the baststations synchronized during handovers. The spokesman claimed the network cuts off voice-call when more than one handsets are using the same basestation simultaneously. <<
