Airvana Showcases Live CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Demos on Multiple 3G Devices

Leading CDMA2000 1xEV-DO infrastructure provider Airvana is showcasing live 3G demonstrations on multiple devices including mobile phones, laptop computers and PDAs during the annual CTIA Wireless 2003 in New Orleans.

Airvana is demonstrating a variety of mobile and fixed applications over CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, from streaming video, online gaming, and multimedia messaging to enterprise
applications such as wireless e-mail to video conferencing, at speeds up to 2.4 Mbps. CDMA2000 1xEV-DO is backward compatible with CDMA technologies including CDMA2000 1X voice and data and delivers data rates capable of supporting intensive,
high-bandwidth applications such as digital imaging, audio and video streaming, and corporate email with complex attachments.

Service providers are deploying CDMA2000 1xEV-DO worldwide as a high-speed mobile data service for devices such as cell phones, PDAs and laptops, or as a low cost alternative to cable and DSL "broadband" data services for residential and SOHO customers. CDMA2000 1xEV-DO can be deployed very inexpensively, either by
upgrading an existing base station with a channel card or by overlaying the existing network with low cost CDMA2000 1xEV-DO base stations. CDMA, TDMA, GSM and new "Greenfield" operators all can deploy the technology.
