LIMA, Peru-Telefonica del Peru has launched Code Division Multiple Access service in the metropolitan city of Lima, saying it is the first in Latin America to have such a commercial system.
Motorola Inc. was awarded the contract in May. The system was built by the company’s Pan American Wireless Infrastructure Division as an overlay for Telefonica’s existing analog network. Motorola Cellular Infrastructure Group supplied the equipment.
The upgrade will allow Telefonica del Peru to increase capacity of the current network by 10,000, to 20,000 subscribers, in the country’s most populated area.
