TOKYO-Motorola Inc. said it has begun deployment of its CDMA2000 1x solution on a 2 GHz network for Japanese wireless carrier KDDI, which is expected to commercially roll out innovative data and voice services on the new 3G network this month.
KDDI currently offers 1x services on a Motorola-supplied 800 MHz network with 18 million subscribers.
The new packet-based 2 GHz network will allow KDDI to leverage additional bandwidth while offering the opportunity to provide more advanced Internet-Protocol-based feature enhancement, Motorola said.
“This commercial deployment in Japan of CDMA2000 1X in the 2 GHz band underlines our commitment and leadership in developing CDMA2000 1x technology,” said Simon Leung, Motorola senior vice president and general manager for infrastructure in Asia Pacific. “We look forward to deepening our 15-year relationship with KDDI through well-designed wireless solutions that will help KDDI capture additional revenue and meet emerging customer needs.”
