Samsung And TECORE Announce Partnership.ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 22, 1998-- Agreement Demonstrates Commitment To Smaller Markets In an effort to address the needs of smaller 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. PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995. This radio spectrum in the 1. markets, Samsung Telecommunications America (STA), a provider of telecommunications equipment for wireless companies, today announced a partnership with TECORE(TM), an international leader in scaleable mobile switching centers (MSCs). The two companies will provide a multi-dimensional platform to support suburban and rural wireless networks in North America. Samsung will demonstrate joint integration with its Pico Base Transceiver Station Base Transceiver Station (BTS) is the equipment which facilitates the wireless communication between user equipments (UE) and the network. UEs are devices like mobile phones (handsets), WLL phones, computers with wireless internet connectivity, WiFi and WiMAX gadgets etc. , PicoBTS(TM), and TECORE's AirCore Platform(TM) MSC (1) (MSC.Software Corporation, Santa Ana, CA, www.mscsoftware.com) Founded in 1963 by Richard H. MacNeal and Robert G. Schwendler, MSC is the world's largest provider of mechanical computer aided engineering (MCAE) strategies, simulation software and services. and transmission system during PCS '98 by making live calls on the show floor in the Samsung (No. 833) and TECORE (No. 451) booths. "Part of establishing a leadership position in the telecommunications industry is to determine what products are necessary to meet the needs of carriers," said David Allen, director of STA's Wireless Systems division. "We believe there is a tremendous opportunity for Samsung to provide smaller markets with the benefits of CDMA technology through open interface and strategic partnering." "Smaller markets do not have to mean smaller profits for carriers," said Jay J. Salkini, chief executive officer of TECORE. "TECORE and Samsung can provide carriers with one scaleable and flexible solution capable of handling all call processing capabilities, including highly profitable roaming revenues." TECORE's and Samsung's newly introduced platforms, which completed joint integration in April and are currently shipping, provide wireless service operators with an integrated solution based on an open architecture combined with the use of industry standards at key interfaces. MSCs provide interconnect of the radio subsystem to the Public Switched Telephone Network. The STA and TECORE system will continue to support IS-634, IS-95, IS-41, ISUP (ISDN User Part) See SS7. , ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors.
