Motorola transmits live video in CDMA 1xEV-DV test

LAS VEGAS-Motorola Inc. announced its Global Telecom Solutions Sector has successfully transmitted live video over its own third-generation CDMA 1xEV-DV solution in its lab in Arlington Heights, Ill.

According to the company, the new solution enables real-time voice, data and multimedia services on existing cdma2000 networks. It will allow users to wirelessly access the Internet and e-mail.

“We have demonstrated in the lab that Motorola’s integrated 1xEV-DV solution can provide unmatched high-speed packet data rates up to nearly 5 Mbps. From a network operator’s standpoint, our solution, which involves a simple card replacement and software upgrade to their existing network, helps to protect their investments and allows simultaneous high-speed transmission of data and voice,” said Fred Wright, GTSS senior vice president and general manager of the North America region.

A proposal for the 1xEV-DV technology was developed by Motorola, Nokia, Philips Semiconductors and Texas Instruments, and is expected to be approved May 15. The 1xEV-DV technology will be deployed in two phases and commercialization is expected in 2003.

Motorola will demonstrate its new 3G technology solution, using the Sprint PCS spectrum, with an interactive racing video game at the CTIA show in Las Vegas this week.
