KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Sprint PCS engineers have developed standard specifications that enable
interoperability between two major components of wireless networks-mobile switching centers and base station
subsystems-from two different vendors of Code Division Multiple Access equipment, the company
announced.
“This significant development will lead to increased competition among network vendors for
CDMA service provider business,” said Keith Paglusch, senior vice president of operations with Sprint PCS.
“Because providers may be able to choose among more vendors in every market, this will likely lower costs for
Sprint PCS and other CDMA wireless service providers when they buy new switches and base station
subsystems.”
