Tellabs Provisions Mobile Corporate Communications for Nextel do Brasil September 24, 1998 10:18 AM LISLE, Ill., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Tellabs (TLAB) is supplying infrastructure equipment for corporate mobile telecommunications services offered by Nextel in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. A world leader in corporate mobile communication, Nextel has offered digital, specialized mobile service for corporate customers in Rio de Janeiro since July. The service, which relies on Motorola technology to provide instant mobile conferencing, individual calls, and digital mobile telephony through a single handset, currently operates with Tellabs' TITAN(R) digital cross-connect equipment. In addition to mobile telecommunications services, Nextel will offer also data and fax services by the end of 1998. The network is being expanded and will migrate to Tellabs' MartisDXX(TM) system, a flexible service delivery platform that allows the network operator to provision any networking service to meet the different needs of various customer groups and optimize costs. In Sao Paulo the service is supported by Tellabs' MartisDXX equipment, which forms the basis of the carrier network required to set up digital mobile communication between radio base stations and the telephone system's central exchange. "We chose Tellabs to supply voice-carrying network-access equipment precisely because its technology has already been tested successfully in the international market," said Nextel Engineering Manager Elieser Carlos de Souza. According to Tellabs' managing director in Brazil, Marcelo Abreu, "the digital corporate mobile communication market is booming everywhere in the world because it is a cost-effective corporate communication solution." In Brazil, Nextel operates in 32 cities and is a leader in specialized mobile services with over 30,000 digital technology users. In the United States, where it completed the first half of 1998 with more than 2 million digital technology users, Nextel provides service in more than 400 cities, including Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Detroit, Toledo, Denver, and Las Vegas.
