Global UMTS TDD Alliance Announces New Members

1 November , 2005

US : The Global UMTS TDD Alliance, the industry association that supports ITU standard UMTS TDD operators and vendors worldwide, has recently added Sprint from the US, T-Mobile Czech Republic, and Maxis from Malaysia to its membership. The addition of these new members to the international UMTS TDD community is proof of the growing worldwide momentum of this broadband wireless technology.

Over the past two years, the Global UMTS TDD Alliance has supported over 50 members as they build profitable broadband wireless networks and carrier-quality broadband wireless products. The commercial success of many members has accelerated the adoption of UMTS TDD as the preferred choice of network operators and wireless carriers to deliver wide-area wireless broadband and other high-speed packet based services.

"As the number one mobile operator the Czech Republic and a member of the global UMTS TDD community, T-Mobile CZ is proud to have pioneered this innovative solution in the Czech Republic," said Roland Mahler, the Managing Director of T-Mobile CZ.

"The Alliance's growth is a testament to the global momentum of UMTS TDD and the overall interest in next generation wireless broadband," said Liz Kerton, executive director of the Alliance. "We're thrilled to have these industry leaders involved in developing the ecosystem for the fastest and highest capacity mobile platform in the world."

Alliance members represent the world's most experienced, most active broadband wireless operators, vendors, and customers. UMTS TDD networks now cover over 20 million people in 22 countries - delivering Megabytes of data, wirelessly and fast, to paying customers. This is one reason that new members, such as T-Mobile CZ and Sprint, join the Alliance - to learn from each other, share best practices, and improve their own broadband wireless businesses.
