All... Wireless Local Loop Deployment Momentum Significantly Increases Throughout Europe; cdmaOne Fixed Wireless Networks Availability Increases Globally Business Wire - October 20, 1998 10:31 CDMA European Regional Congress, Radisson SAS, Berlin BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 1998--Indicative of cdmaOne technology's emergence as the global wireless local loop (WLL) standard, the CDMA Development Group (CDG) Tuesday announced that the cdmaOne WLL network deployment rate has significantly increased globally, especially in Eastern Europe. With more than 45 cdmaOne WLL trial and commercial contracts signed in 23 countries, the technology is now deployed on every major continent. Today's announcement was made by Perry LaForge, executive director for the CDG, at the Second Annual CDMA European Regional Congress at the Radisson SAS in Berlin. The CDMA European Regional Congress will continue through Oct. 22, 1998. "With 9 cdmaOne WLL contracts signed in Russia, Poland and the Ukraine, Eastern Europe has clearly emerged as a growth market for cdmaOne fixed wireless networks," said LaForge. "cdmaOne WLL enables operators in developing countries to offer or expand local telephone service cost effectively. WLL continues to accelerate around the world and the proven ability of cdmaOne as a solution for providing wireline equivalent voice and data services, ensure the technology's continued growth. We expect to see more than 60 cdmaOne WLL systems deployed by year-end." cdmaOne WLL offers operators a flexible and cost effective solution to their subscriber demands by providing a substitute to wireline. With the technology's inherent ability to provide increased, superior capacity, cdmaOne gives operators a financially and technologically attractive option for delivering service on their WLL network. In addition, with cdmaOne, WLL operators have a technology that offers service differentiation and an evolution path to enhanced services. cdmaOne WLL networks also allow for a number of unique features such as variable rate vocoders, robust error correction, frequency, space and time diversity, and multipath immunity. The CDMA Development Group (CDG) is a nonprofit trade association formed to foster the worldwide development, implementation and use of cdmaOne. The 100 member companies of the CDG include many of the world's largest wireless operators and equipment manufacturers. The primary activities of the CDG include development of cdmaOne features and services, public relations, education and seminars, regulatory affairs and international support. Currently there are more than 500 individuals working within various CDG subcommittees on cdmaOne-related matters.
