Telstra uses Nortel solutions to upgrade
HONG
KONG -- Telstra will use solutions from Nortel Networks
to upgrade its CDMA wireless network with 3G CDMA2000
1x digital wireless technology, in selected centres
around Australia.
Telstra
will deploy Nortel Univity solutions to enable CDMA2000
1x radio access with a simple card upgrade to Telstra's
existing metro cell base station equipment. It will
also deliver a new packet-based core infrastructure.
The upgrades will position Telstra to offer 3G services
and improve spectral efficiency while driving down Telstra's
costs of delivering traffic across their network.
Telstra's
CDMA2000 1x rollout has been completed in greater Sydney,
greater Melbourne and Victoria's regional Gippsland
centre of Sale, east of Melbourne, and upgrades are
now underway in Canberra, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Products
to be deployed for Telstra from Nortel Networks Univity
CDMA2000 product portfolio include the Univity CDMA
metro cell radio base station, Univity CDMA base station
controllers and Univity CDMA PDSN, based on Nortel Networks
Shasta platform.
