The calls were conducted using prototype equipment based on QUALCOMM's Cell Site Modem CSM6800 chipset for base stations and the Mobile Station Modem MSM6800 chipset for mobile handsets and mark a major milestone in the development of CDMA and the EV-DO Rev. A standard. EV-DO Rev. A supports peak data speeds of 3.1 Mbps on the forward link and 1.8 Mbps on the reverse link and the higher system capacity required for compelling next-generation wireless services. "The evolution to EV-DO Rev. A is a significant milestone for CDMA technology that will allow Sprint Nextel to further our leadership in wireless data services," said Barry West, CTO of Sprint Nextel. "Besides increasing data speeds, it will facilitate real time applications that ride on top of the all IP wireless converged network. Applications such as voice over IP, high-performance push-to-talk, and higher-speed data access are just some of the examples of new services our customers will enjoy with the advent of EV-DO Rev. A." "QUALCOMM is very pleased with these successful end-to-end test calls of EV-DO Rev. A technology," said Luis Pineda, senior vice president of product management for QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies. "The Company has committed significant development resources to the Rev. A effort, supporting our customers and partners as they offer new mobile capabilities and higher-quality wireless multimedia. Working with industry partners such as Sprint Nextel has enabled QUALCOMM to be part of these technology developments that we believe will redefine wireless mobility for people around the world." The
successful test calls using EV-DO Rev. A technology are a significant
milestone in the development of the standard that enables new wireless
capabilities on mobile handsets. In addition to providing peak data
rates of up to 3.1 Mbps on the forward link and up to 1.8 Mbps on
the reverse link, EV-DO Rev. A also provides lower latency with Quality
of Service (QoS) to enhance the user experience for delay-sensitive
applications such as VoIP and video telephony. Gold and Platinum Multicast
services that are supported by EV-DO enable the delivery of high-quality
multimedia content to a large number of users simultaneously. Industry-wide
efforts are underway for further developments of CDMA technology that
will enable even faster data rates and new mobile capabilities. |
