Telos Technology and LGE Team Up to Build Monet's Data Network-- the First of Its Kind to Deploy CDMA 2000 Technology.Business Editors ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 27, 2001 Deployment will result in next-generation wireless Internet access with data transmission speeds up to twice those of dial-up TELOS Technology, Inc. (www.telostechnology.com), a leading developer of advanced wireless technologies, announced it has joined forces with LG Electronics, Inc. (LGE LGE LG Electronics LGE Local Government Employers (UK) LGE Laser Guided Energy LGE Louisville Gas & Electric LGE Loop or Ground-start, Exchange (Newbridge) ) (www.lge.com), a leading telecommunication equipment manufacturer, to build North America's first data-only, 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. 2000, next-generation wireless network for Monet Mobile Networks, Inc. (www.monetmobile.com). "This is an important step to bring our wireless data solution to market," said Richard Kingston, President and COO of Monet Mobile Networks. "By harnessing the power of wireless, the Monet service will allow users to take the Internet wherever they want to go." Operating on licensed spectrum in the 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. frequency band, Monet's CDMA2000 network uses LGE's Radio Access Network (RAN) and Packet Data Serving Node The Packet Data Serving Node, or PDSN, is a component of a CDMA2000 mobile network. It acts as the connection point between the Radio Access and IP networks. This component is responsible for managing PPP sessions between the mobile provider's core IP network and the mobile (PDSN PDSN Packet Data Serving Node (Nortel Networks) PDSN Public Data Switched Network ), supported by the TELOS wireless Softswitch, the Sonata SE(TM). The Sonata SE(TM) handles subscriber validation through the CDMA mobility network, and, in conjunction with the PDSN, provides handoff support. The Sonata SE is also responsible for resource allocation resource allocation Managed care The constellation of activities and decisions which form the basis for prioritizing health care needs , making sure that sufficient resources are available between the subscriber and the core IP network. "We chose to work with TELOS because they are the leading mobile switching component provider," says Kyeong Woo Lee, Vice President, Infrastructure Marketing at LGE. "As far as I know, TELOS is the only company that offers CDMA2000-compliant, packet-based Mobile Switching Centers. This was what was needed to build this very unique, third-generation overlay system for Monet." "To be partnering with LGE and Monet to build the most advanced packet data network of its kind in the U.S., is a significant accomplishment for us," says Jack Mar, President of TELOS Technology. "The Sonata SE(TM) is the first carrier-class Softswitch that incorporates Intelligent Networking (IN), Wireless Mobility and a full range of PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) The worldwide voice telephone network. Once only an analog system, the heart of most telephone networks today is all digital. In the U.S. signaling capabilities for Wireless and Tandem Switching applications. It is ideal for operators who want to begin their migration to 3G and packet-based networks." Testing and installation of the system are now complete. Monet Mobile Networks launched its next generation data service network to residential and business customers in Sioux Falls, South Dakota Sioux Falls (IPA: [su fɑlz]) is the largest city in the U.S. state of South Dakota, and the county seat of Minnehaha County.GR6 The 2007 city population is 148,000. in October 2001 - the first regional carrier to do so in the United States.
