US
: UTStarcom announced that it is demonstrating the industry's first
live video transmission using EVDO Revision A (Rev A) wireless technology
at the CTIA WIRELESS show in Las Vegas this week. The company believes
the demonstration of streaming video and VoIP applications, which
uses UTStarcom's new EVDO Rev A solution, confirms the technological
viability of the standard for powering and delivering broadband wireless
services and rich media content to wireless mobile devices. In addition,
UTStarcom will be introducing new CDMA2000 4GV(TM) codecs at CTIA.
"As
a leading provider of wireless broadband technology worldwide, UTStarcom
has expanded on its distributed 1xRTT architecture to provide EVDO
Rev A capabilities, which is designed to enable operators to offer
a much faster network to their customers," said Jack Mar, president
of CDMA division at UTStarcom. "With UTStarcom's new distributed
EVDO Rev A solution, we expect that operators can offer higher-speed
bandwidth for multimedia applications and allow end users to access
multiple services at the same time from a single device."
EVDO Rev A Demonstration
The EVDO Rev A demonstration
employs UTStarcom's new distributed EVDO Rev A solution, which is
part of its MovingMedia(TM) 2000 suite of wireless networking products.
The MovingMedia 2000 iCell PICO EVDO Rev A IP Radio Access Network
(RAN) is designed to enable seamless indoor wireless coverage via
cost-effective IP networks, providing a high-performance, cost-effective
solution for operators seeking to offer indoor campus-wide roaming.
The MovingMedia 2000 iCell Macro 1X and EVDO IP RAN is designed to
enable ubiquitous wide-area coverage via IP networks and can be used
in urban, suburban, and rural environments.
CDMA2000 4GV Codecs
UTStarcom will also be
demonstrating the new CDMA2000 4GV codecs at CTIA. 4GV is the next
generation 3GPP2 standards-based EVRC-B codec. 4GV is designed to
allow service providers to dynamically prioritize voice capacity on
their network as required.
