Nortel demos wireless triple-play


MIAMI – Nortel will demonstrate its ‘triple-play’ solution over a live CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev. A network at the 3G CDMA Americas Congress, September 12-14, 2005 (Room G, Miami Convention Center).

Wireless service providers and their customers will soon be able to benefit from simultaneous delivery of voice, video and data virtually ‘anytime, anywhere,’ says the Canadian company. This service bundling is designed not only to help create a new business model for wireless operators, but also to position them to increase revenue potential and enhance the subscriber experience, adds Nortel.

Nortel will demonstrate the ability to deliver simultaneous broadband data, VOIP and IPTV media services over a single EV-DO connection. It’s another step in the company’s plan to position CDMA operators to lead the shift to a converged business model.

"Today, people expect wireless services to be as fast, reliable and secure as their wireline connections," said Richard Lowe, president, CDMA, Nortel. "Nortel’s DO Rev. A and IMS/MMD solutions will help make tomorrow’s service aware networks more intelligent, and assist CDMA operators in increasing profit potential by creating new business models and service bundling opportunities to enhance the subscriber experience."

Nortel’s open design will allow personalized services for each user – options for increasing revenue through innovative bundling of voice, video and data services; and higher network transmission speeds with lower latency to ensure the highest quality user experiences for gaming, music, VoIP, PTx (Push to Talk, Push to See, Push to Video), video telephony, and broadcast/multicast services.
