3G Network for Sergipe in Brazil

1st December, 2004

South America : VIVO and Lucent Technologies announced the successful deployment of a CDMA2000Ò 1X network in the Aracajú metropolitan region and other cities in the state of Sergipe; the third-generation (3G) service is available immediately. The Lucent-supplied network significantly increases the voice capacity of VIVO's network and enables the introduction of new data services such as e-mail and Internet access at speeds of up to 144 kilobits per second.

Under the multi-million dollar agreement for this project, Lucent provided new Flexent® Modular Cell 4.0 Compact base stations and enhanced existing Lucent-supplied base stations with channel cards and software to support CDMA2000 1X technology. With this new deployment, Lucent has deployed CDMA2000 1X networks for VIVO in the states of Sergipe, Espírito Santo as well as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's largest markets.

"With the implementation of CDMA2000 1X technology in Sergipe, our customers will have access to mobile services with greater transmission speeds, more security and quality," said Javier Rodriguez, vice president of technology and networks for VIVO.

"Lucent's solutions allow VIVO's customers in Sergipe to have access to the same high-speed mobile data services that subscribers located in São Paulo, Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro are enjoying," said Wagner Ferreira, president of Lucent Technologies Brazil.
