MOTOROLA IMPLEMENTING CIRCUIT-SWITCHED DATA ON CDMA NETWORKS

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill.-Motorola Inc.’s Cellular Infrastructure Group announced it is deploying data and fax capabilities on commercial Code Division Multiple Access wireless networks.

Motorola CIG is deploying circuit-switched data in networks in Japan, South America and the United States. GTE plans to test the service on its personal communications services networks in Cincinnati and Seattle, the company said. Circuit-switched data and fax services are transparent to subscribers and allow them to connect a CDMA phone to a computer to send and receive faxes and connect to the Internet without special modems, at speeds up to 14.4 kilobits per second, said Motorola.

“With this CDMA circuit-switched data technology, CDMA digital wireless service providers will be able to offer customers the latest in wireless information access: interactive communication, cost-effective access to corporate information systems such as e-mail and intranets, and subscription services from their CDMA digital phone,” said Moe Grzelakowski, vice president and general manager of Motorola CIG’s Cellular Systems Group.
