SCARBOROUGH, Ontario-Canadian wireless company Clearnet Communications Inc. announced it installed new wireless equipment adhering to the new third-generation cdma2000 international standard.
Clearnet said it will use the new wireless base station, provided by Lucent Technologies Inc., as its main vehicle for expanding voice services to existing clients and to enhance upcoming wireless Internet services with data transmission rates faster than those available from the typical home Internet dial-up service.
“We made a strategic decision to adopt [Code Division Multiple Access] as a technology platform, and with this base station we will gain the benefits inherent in the standard-graceful evolution to 3G services from the same platform and with incremental advances within the same spectrum,” explained Eros Spadotto, executive vice president and chief technology officer for Clearnet.
