The CDG also said the specification known as 1XRTT is near completion in the standards process. 1XRTT will allow existing cdmaOne networks to provide enhanced third generation-like services, including high speed data capabilities, e-mail, fax and Internet access.

Cdma Testing> THE INDEPENDENT SOURCE FOR WIRELESS INDUSTRY NEWS November 20, 1998 November 20, 1998 Nortel, Bell Mobility and others test cdmaOne LOS ANGELES—Nortel Networks said it is conducting live trials of cdmaOne circuit-switched data services with Bell Mobility and other selected customers and in the Nortel Networks Wireless Internet Lab in Dallas. The announcement was made in conjunction with the 1998 CDMA Americas Congress this week in Los Angeles. The Interim Standard-95 Code Division Multiple Access circuit-switched data, with optional FastConnect capability, permits mobile and fixed wireless users on 800 MHz and 1900 MHz CDMA networks to connect to the Internet, to send and receive e-mail messages and faxes and to access mission-critical corporate information resources. Fast Connect, said Nortel, enables mobile-originated data calls to bypass the public voice telephone network and connect directly to the packet data networks. Nortel said this improves performance by significantly reducing connect time and cuts cost by eliminating the need for modem pools. RCR NEWS Copyright 1998, all rights reserved.
