ASIA : During the eighth annual CDMA Development Group's (CDG) 3G World Congress in Bangkok, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is demonstrating its expertise in CDMA technology with two new technologies designed to ensure the success of next generation wireless services.

Inset is CDMA Development Group's President : Oliver Valente.

Nokia's exhibition of CDMA technology includes a live video stream received over a cdma2000 1xEV-DV network and a prototype of the world's first dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 handset. Additionally, Nokia is showcasing its growing lineup of cdma2000 1X handsets, including the ultra-compact Nokia 3105 phone and the Nokia 6225 camera phone.

The streaming video demonstration is being performed at peak speeds of up to 3.1 Mbps using a test set based on a commercially available Nokia 2285 handset upgraded with a Nokia cdma2000 1xEV-DV chipset and a Racal Instruments Wireless Solutions Group 1xEV-DV base station emulator. Along with applications such as streaming video downloads, 1xEV-DV technology also offers end-users new services such as videoconferencing, interactive online gaming and remote presentations. For wireless operators following a CDMA evolution path, 1xEV-DV technology offers dynamic network flexibility to balance voice and data traffic for the most efficient usage of limited spectrum.

Nokia's demonstration of streaming video marks a significant milestone for 1xEV-DV for the companies currently working on this technology. "Texas Instruments commends Nokia's demonstration of 1xEV-DV technology, which will bring new, exciting services to end users and a compelling 3G evolution path to CDMA carriers. By working with companies like Nokia and others on this technology development, we are contributing to a successful future for 1xEV- DV," said John McDonough, general manager of the CDMA chipset business for Texas Instruments, one of the leading contributors to 1xEV-DV technology.

Nokia is also demonstrating the world's first dual stack IPv4/IPv6 CDMA handset prototype at the 3G World Congress. As Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses are rapidly being depleted, and will soon be supplemented by Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses, this handset reflects the future for advanced Internet-connected mobile devices. By using the dual- stack approach, interoperability between IPv4 and IPv6 systems is possible, allowing service providers to continue offering advanced services during the transition to IPv6.

The growing lineup of Nokia cdma2000 1X phones is being highlighted as part of the show activities, including the Nokia 2200 Series phone, the Nokia 3105 phone and the Nokia 6225 phone. The Nokia 2200 Series CDMA handsets offer an attractive blend of style and value, and are currently selling in the rapidly growing China and India markets. The Nokia 3105 phone boasts an ultra-compact size, color screen and Java™ technology. Nokia's first CDMA camera phone, the Nokia 6225 handset, combines an extra-large keypad, color screen and a built-in FM radio.
