Demand for ice time. Reduced operating cost. Surplus of disposable income. America... land of opportunity. My Son is a principal contributor to the RF control system additions that enable Verizon To Unveil Ultra-Fast Wireless for Nortel equipment. my son pbase.com Verizon Wireless offers a nationwide wireless network that offers speeds about two or three times as fast as a regular dial-up connection, but those rates are too slow to download large business files. The company will begin selling EvDO-capable cell phones and special cards for laptop computers and handheld organizers that will enable them to work with the EvDO network. It declined to comment on prices; a spokeswoman said the initial target market will be business customers. The EvDO system in the Washington area is to use equipment developed by Lucent Technologies Inc. The San Diego network will use similar equipment developed by Nortel Networks Corp. One barrier to rollout of EvDO has been that the technology requires wireless companies to set aside valuable airwaves just to carry data. Verizon late last year bought a large slice of airwaves in 50 markets for $750 million, in part to make room for services such as EvDO. But most mobile phone companies are scrambling for enough spectrum just to cover their growing number of regular wireless phone subscribers, so it may take several years for EvDO to become widely available across the country. The EvDO network will be carried over Verizon Wireless's existing cell towers, which have been updated with new software and circuit boards. Users will be able to access private corporate networks using secure connections. washingtonpost.com
