MURRAY HILL, N.J.-Lucent Technologies Inc. reported that six Sprint PCS affiliates are deploying its PacketStar 4500 Multiservice Media Gateway, which Lucent said will allow the carriers to reduce costs by aggregating voice traffic as it moves through the network and by reducing the number of lines necessary to connect traffic between and within mobile switching centers.
The Sprint PCS affiliates include Alamosa Holdings Inc., Gulf Coast Wireless, Independent Wireless One, Shenandoah Telecommunications, UbiquiTel PCS Inc. and U.S. Unwired Inc.
Financial terms of the deals were not released.
