WHAT:          The 2002 CDMA Americas Congress will feature a
               pre-conference workshop titled "Migrating From TDMA to
               CDMA2000: Hands-On Experience" on Tuesday, Dec. 3,
               2002, at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego.
               Attendees will hear case studies from operators and
               infrastructure providers who have migrated a network
               from TDMA to CDMA2000. Key topics to be explored will
               include the economic and technical reasons for
               selecting CDMA2000, issues encountered during the
               transition and future plans for both voice and data
               services.

               This workshop has been specifically designed to meet
               the information needs of Latin American carriers who
               are implementing a TDMA to CDMA2000 migration, as well
               as those who are evaluating the financial and practical
               feasibility of this migration path.

               CDMA2000 is a viable solution for TDMA operators
               looking to offer next-generation services. It is a
               direct path to 3G, preserves investment in the existing
               IS-41 core network and allows them flexibility to
               migrate to 3G over time, as the market for advanced
               services evolves.

WHO:           Executives from Movilnet and US Cellular, two operators
               who have migrated their TDMA networks to CDMA2000, and
               senior representatives from Ericsson, Lucent
               Technologies, Nortel Networks and Qualcomm will present
               during the workshop.

               Additional information and highlights of the conference
               agenda can be found on the event Web site at
