NEW ORLEANS-Motorola Inc. said it successfully made a voice over Internet Protocol call on top of a third-generation high-speed packet data call at 384 kilobits per second in a laboratory experiment.
The 3G experimental system is an Aspira network architecture-based system demonstrating 3G cellular services using the Code Division Multiple Access 2000 radio transmission technology.
Other announcements from last week’s Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association’s Wireless 2000 show, include:
Motorola’s Network Solutions Sector and Portal Software Inc. demonstrated a comprehensive real-time IP-based billing solution over a Motorola NSS CDMA high-speed packet data network.
According to Motorola, Portal’s Infranet 6.0 delivers the industry’s only comprehensive real-time customer-management and billing software capable of supporting the growing wireless Internet business environment.
Infranet 6.0 can be integrated with existing wireless voice billing systems and provides a complete range of flexible rating and billing capabilities for providers of wireless data and Wireless Application Protocol-based services.
Motorola unveiled a new WAP gateway, which is now commercially available to operators. The gateway is part of an end-to-end solution for wireless Internet/intranet subscribers that includes mobile phones, browsers, infrastructure, Internet connectivity, applications and a software developer’s kit.
The company announced a plan to offer mobile e-commerce solutions by partnering with Amazon.com Inc. Motorola will add popular e-commerce Web sites by adding a bookmark to some of its Internet-capable wireless handsets. Using the bookmark, consumers will have the ability to scroll down to Amazon.com’s Web site and connect to search and purchase goods and services while mobile.
Also, Motorola and Sprint PCS said they have processed commercial CDMA mobile telephone traffic over a multivendor wireless network environment within the same geographic coverage area.
The interoperability is occurring on a Sprint PCS network in Oklahoma City, using Motorola’s radio base stations and a Nortel Networks mobile switching center.
