NEW ORLEANS, March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CTIA Wireless 2005 --
Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) is deploying its fully integrated CDMA network and
SoftSwitch for Honduran operator Comunitel. The new 800 Mhz network is
scheduled for service in early Q2 2005. This award continues Motorola's
momentum for its SoftSwitch, now contracted by operators in eight countries
worldwide, with a current overall capacity to support more than 12 million
subscribers.
"Motorola's SoftSwitch offers carriers like Comunitel the ability to
launch their network with leading edge technology that offers faster
deployment, better efficiencies in capital and lower operational expenses than
legacy switching solutions," said Jose Figueroa, corporate vice president and
general manager for Motorola's Networks business in Latin America and the
Caribbean. "The Motorola SoftSwitch also delivers the platform to migrate to
Motorola's IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), which will enable the convergence of
applications across multiple access environments, and lay the foundation for
seamless mobility."
"Comunitel is implementing Motorola's CDMA technology to take advantage of
the upcoming market liberalization in Honduras, set for December 2005;
allowing us to position Comunitel as a leader in the market with a strong
competitive advantage," said Hector Ivan Nunez, president and CEO of
Comunitel.
The Motorola SoftSwitch for CDMA (MSS-C) is a highly scalable packet-based
platform that serves 2G and 3G networks, providing TDM, ATM and IP
technologies. It offers flexible networking configurations, facilitating
network optimization by delivering a separation of control server and media
gateway (disaggregate architecture), resulting in a simpler network solution
that localizes traffic, reducing long distance and backhaul. The Motorola
SoftSwitch can function as a Gateway Mobile Switching Center (G-MSC), Tandem
MSC, Serving MSC and Gateway/Serving MSC providing full network functionality
and flexibility in delivering network optimization.
The open architecture of the MSS-C, built on the same platform as the
portfolio of Motorola's core solutions including IP Multi-Media System (IMS)
and Push-To-Talk over Cellular (PoC), provides versatility enabling operators
to rapidly add new applications and services.
