Qualcomm Congratulates Telesp Celular and Telefónica Celular on the Expansion of their 3G Networks December 16, 2002 Qualcomm congratulates Telesp Celular and Telefónica Celular, two of the largest Brazilian mobile operators with a combined total of 13.5 million subscribers, on their 3G CDMA2000 1X network expansions in the country’s southeastern region. Telesp Celular announced on Thursday, December 12, 2002, its new CDMA2000 1X network operations in the cities of Santo André, Sáo Bernardo, Sáo Caetano do Sul and Santos. There are also CDMA2000 1X networks being installed in Baixada Santista, Campinas, Jundiaí and Vale do Paraiba, in the state of Sáo Paulo and Curitiba, Parana. More than 600 companies have adopted the high-speed wireless Internet service to improve their corporate productivity. This month Telesp Celular is also celebrating the one year anniversary of its CDMA2000 1X service in Sáo Paulo, the first commercial 3G network in Latin America. "The demand for additional coverage, services and applications by our enterprise consumers is the leading reason for Telesp’s expansions," said Gilson Rondinelli, president of Telesp Celular. "Our customers have generated approximately 100 gigabytes of data traffic per month, having increased our data revenue 400 percent in the last six months. The expansions will allow us to continue offering more enhanced data services in these regions, while solving our voice capacity needs for the next few years." Additionally, Telefónica Celular launched its CDMA2000 1X mobile services in the main areas of Vila Velha, Cariacica, Serra and Vitoria, as well as the ocean coast of Vitoria and Vila Velha in the state of Espírito Santo. Telefónica Celular currently has 3G networks operating in the state of Rio de Janeiro, including airport areas, downtown, southern and western regions, Recreio dos Bandeirantes, Barra da Tijuca and Itanhanga. 3gnewsroom.com
