Ericsson to Build 3G Demo Facility At U.S. Headquarters; AT&T Wireless Services to Provide 1900 MHz Frequencies.ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 23, 1998--Ericsson Inc. has announced it will build a Third Generation demonstration facility at its U.S. headquarters located in Richardson, Texas Richardson is a suburb in Dallas County and Collin County, Texas. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 91,803, while according to a 2006 estimate, the population had grown to 99,200. . To showcase UWC UWC University of the Western Cape (RSA) UWC University Writing Center UWC United World Colleges (international college network) UWC Ultimate Warrior Challenge 136 technology, AT&T Wireless Services will provide the 1900 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. frequencies from its D and E Band licenses. The project will demonstrate Internet and high-speed data/video applications, with bitrates up to 384 kbps. It will be ready in the second quarter of 1999. The Texas facility will complement Ericssons participation in the 3G test project in Canada recently announced by the GSM Alliance and Microcell. "The objective of the demonstration facility is to show applications that can run on 3G systems," said Keith Shank shank (shangk) 1. leg (1). 2. crus ( 2). shank n.

Division, Ericsson Inc. "All of the technology and standards debates are secondary because they will be resolved. With that in mind, Ericsson intends to develop a full complement of 3G applications to ensure our customers have a complete portfolio of products and services to meet their demands in this increasingly mobile world." "This will be a first look opportunity to see some of the benefits that UWC-136HS will have to offer," said Rod Nelson, senior vice president of Technology Development, AT&T Wireless Services. "Many people in the wireless business feel the next 'killer applications' will be contained in the 3G standards, most notably high-speed wireless data. We are working with all of our equipment suppliers to ensure TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) A satellite and cellular phone technology that interleaves multiple digital signals onto a single high-speed channel. For cellular, TDMA triples the capacity of the original analog method (FDMA). IS-136 grows as carrier systems and customer expectations evolve." Ericsson feels strongly about the capabilities of the TDMA technologies and we are now ready to take the next step to ensure that the applications are usable and are what the end user will want, Shank said. Ericsson plans to tie the facility into other Ericsson facilities such as its Cyberlab offices in California and New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of . This will allow us to create a networked application-sharing environment utilizing Internet-related technologies. Ericsson's 100,000 employees are active in more than 130 countries. Their combined expertise in fixed and mobile networks, mobile phones, and infocom systems makes Ericsson a world-leading supplier in telecommunications. |
