JACKSON, Miss.-Rural wireless provider Cellular South launched BREW-based wireless data services on its CDMA2000 1x network in the Southeast, allowing customers to download wireless applications and services to BREW-enabled handsets.
The carrier recently noted the completion of the overlay of its legacy TDMA network with CDMA and said it planned to launch BREW services during the third quarter of this year. The company joins other BREW-enabled carriers, including Verizon Wireless, Alltel Corp., U.S. Cellular Corp. and Midwest Wireless.
“Qualcomm [Inc.’s] BREW solution is a perfect fit for Cellular South since it will enable us to quickly and effectively provide valuable services tailored to fit the evolving needs of our subscribers,” said Jana Long, director of marketing for Cellular South.
