Ericsson conducts CDMA2000 1X 450 MHz trial in Kazakhstan

Date: Tuesday, November 9 2004
 

Ericsson has conducted a 450 MHz trial in Talgar, Kazakhstan
utilizing its commercially available 450 MHz solution. Based on
Ericsson's true 3G platforms that support all future evolutions of
CDMA2000, the solution is part of Ericsson's Expander offering, which
is designed to provide cost-effective solutions for high growth
 markets.
 
Local operator Dalacom, and its partners, participated in the trial
in conjunction with The Agency of Information and Communications of
the Republic of Kazakhstan.
 
"This trial is a further proof of Ericsson's commitment to providing
our customers with the most advanced wireless solutions available", -
said Guenther Begemann, Vice-President, Ericsson Eastern Europe and
Central Asia.
 
Due to the improved propagation at lower frequencies, CDMA2000 in 450
MHz is particularly well suited for rural networks and for addressing
operators' needs for cost-efficient coverage and capacity as a fixed
line alternative, for Universal Service Obligation, and in public
safety applications. In addition, the high-speed data capabilities of
CDMA2000 1X make it very appealing to 450 MHz operators as a DSL
 alternative.
 
Ericsson's CDMA2000 and GSM/EDGE Expander solutions are comprised of
products and services that cover the total mobile network, and
provide low total cost of ownership, high quality performance, and
are optimized for scalable coverage and capacity.
 
Ericsson is shaping the future of Mobile and Broadband Internet
communications through its continuous technology leadership.
