Telstra is one of Nortel Networks' lead trial customers for high-speed wireless Internet and other advanced wireless packet services using cdma2000 third generation (3G) radio technology, the evolution of today's cdmaOne (IS-95 CDMA) digital wireless radio standard. ''Providing cost-effective, high-speed multimedia services to our customers is critical for the future,'' said Lindsay Yelland, group managing director, products and marketing, Telstra Corporation. ''We are very excited to be able to trial next generation services on the same platform already being built using Nortel Networks CDMA technology.'' With construction progressing on Telstra's nationwide cdmaOne (IS-95 CDMA) network, Telstra and Nortel Networks are also laying the groundwork for the high-speed wireless Internet services trial. Based on Nortel Networks' CDMA Metro Cell base stations, the trial is also intended to demonstrate the smooth evolution to the future operators can expect from existing, 3G-ready Nortel Networks radio infrastructure. The Telstra trial will support data services at up to 144 kilobits per second (kbps) - 10 times the speed commonly available for wireless data services today - using 1XRTT, the first phase of cdma2000. This will provide Telstra's trial customers with access to a range of multimedia services including rapid wireless Internet connection. ''This trial will show how our Unified Networks solutions can seamlessly extend voice, video and data across traditional enterprise and carrier boundaries, both wireless and wireline,'' said Richard Lowe, vice-president and general manager, CDMA Solutions, Nortel Networks. The trial announcement was made in conjunction with the First Australian CDMA International Summit. Nortel Networks is exhibiting its CDMA Metro Cell and CDMA Minicell RE solutions for urban, suburban and rural service deployment at the Summit this week in Sydney. /For further information: Elizabeth Lovett, Nortel Networks, (02) 9424 5520, elizabeth.lovett(at)nortelnetworks.com; Mark Buford, Nortel Networks, (972) 684-8512, mark.buford(at)nortelnetworks.com; Frank McNally, Nortel Networks, (703) 712-8374, fmcnally(at)nortelnetworks.com; Or visit Nortel Networks' website at www.nortelnetworks.com/ More Quotes and News: Toronto:NTL.TO - news Related News Categories: Canadian Market News, US Market News Help Copyright © 1999 Reuters Limited.
