(UTRAN UTRAN UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network ) at Telecom 99. Identical equipment and basic functions will be shown live on both stands. On show at the Motorola Stand at Telecom 99, the groundbreaking W-CDMA See WCDMA. air interface demonstration will showcase the capabilities of third generation cellular technology to deliver two way data services, advanced IP based multimedia applications and wireless video communications. On the company's stand, Alcatel's 3G Mobile global approach - infrastructure, applications and services - is demonstrated via a third generation concept terminal - the Alcatel mobile evolution vision. Visitors will be able to dive into the multimedia wave with applications including Web browsing, video net meeting, e-mail and e-commerce. The UTRAN solution on show includes both cellsite and terminal components supporting a variety of applications, and is real time proof of the technology being developed to enable mobile access to leading-edge Internet services. Visitors to Telecom 99 can experience the capabilities of 3G, and can see the first results of the cooperation agreement announced by Motorola and Alcatel earlier this year. The UTRAN solution leverages the extensive experience of Alcatel and Motorola in the development and implementation of both radio and core network solutions in GSM and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. wireless networks. The timely delivery of commercial UTRAN systems will enable cellular network operators to take early advantage of the first wave of third generation deployment, and bring the promise of third generation to the commercial market. The cooperation agreement, announced in February this year, includes the joint development by Alcatel and Motorola of total, integrated CDMA digital network infrastructure and Third Generation Mobile communications network The transmission channels interconnecting all client and server stations as well as all supporting hardware and software. offering. The agreement allows both companies to leverage their complementary resources, including research and development expertise, and will help to ensure customers have rapid access to the latest technologies with closely integrated systems and faster product availability to both CDMA solutions and new future UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) The GSM implementation of the 3G wireless phone system. Part of IMT-2000, UMTS provides service in the 2 GHz band and offers global roaming and personalized features. applications. Notes to editors At the Alcatel Stand (Hall 4, Stand 4210) Alcatel will demonstrate its 3G Mobile Global approach-Infrastructure, Applications and Services. Via a third generation terminal concept-the Alcatel Mobile Evolution Vision-visitors will be offered to dive into the Multimedia Wave.
