VANCOUVER-Nortel Networks entered an agreement to work with Sierra Wireless Inc. to develop wireless modems based on the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System and General Packet Radio System.
The companies did not disclose the financial terms of the deal, which will make the modems commercially available in the first half of 2001.
“We look forward to working with Nortel and UMTS customers around the world to develop a vibrant and successful UMTS wireless data market, and we take pride in our role as a pioneer of the wireless revolution,” said Andrew Harries, Sierra’s senior vice president for corporate development.
