COLUMBUS, Ohio-Nortel Networks and Verizon Wireless announced today they completed a third-generation, over-the-air trial of data transmission and voice calls using cdma2000 technology.
The companies said the successful trial processed both voice and data calls between three active cell sites. The companies said the trial successfully implemented 1XRTT, which is designed to double voice capacity and support data transmission speeds.
“This 1XRTT trial is another important step in the development of a robust digital data networking platform to support customer demand,” said Ed Salas, Verizon’s staff vice president for network planning.
