: Huawei, CDMA Development Group (CDG) and International 450 Association
(IA450) announced the successful demonstration of the 450MHz CDMA2000
1x & EV DO end-to-end solution. This solution was demonstrated
at the 4th Meeting of the Permanent Consultative Committee II of the
Inter-American Telecommunication Commission (CITEL) held from December
6-9, 2004, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Huawei's 450MHz CDMA2000 1x
& EV DO system enabled the delivery of the first call and data
service in Argentina.
With support from
Telecom, the largest telecommunications operator in Argentina, the
450MHz CDMA2000 1x & EV DO system was connected to the existing
PSTN switch to demonstrate the voice and high-speed data services,
such as video on demand (VOD).
Huawei successfully
demonstrated and tested the 450MHz CDMA2000 1x & EV DO solution
to officers from Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, Peru, United States of America and delegates
from operators such as Telecom and Cotecal.
"With wider
coverage performance and high-speed data service capability, Huawei's
450MHz CDMA2000 is a cost-effective and rapidly deployable solution
that provides universal services to eliminate the digital gap in telecommunications
markets," said Mr. Yu Dong, vice president of Huawei Latin America.
Huawei, a leading
vendor of CDMA2000 solutions, is a member of IA450 directorate and
an independent member of 3GPP/3GPP2. In Portugal, the professional
European wireless operator Inquam chose Huawei as its strategic partner
to build a nationwide 450MHz CDMA2000 1x & EV DO network, which
is the first CDMA2000 system in Western Europe. As the largest supplier
of 450MHz CDMA solutions, the Huawei CDMA2000 system is deployed in
nearly 40 countries, including West Europe, Latin America, former
CIS states, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Huawei is helping an
increasing number of operators worldwide to extend network coverage
at lowest costs and fastest speed to sharpen their competitive edges.
