IPWireless Ships 600th 3G TD-CDMA Base Station to T-Mobile

NextWave Wireless says that its IPWireless subsidiary has now shipped more than 600 UMTS TD-CDMA wireless broadband base stations with more than 2,000 sectors of network capacity to T-Mobile for deployment in the Czech Republic.

Building on the success of its initial deployment of IPWireless network equipment in Prague, T-Mobile continues to expand its "Internet 4G" network and now offers high-speed data services to more than 60 percent of the Czech population including the republic's largest cities; Prague, Ostrava, Opava, Prerov, Hradec Kralove, Lysa nad Labem, Kurim, Litvinov, Slapanice and Rajhrad. The TD-CDMA network now delivers over 10 terabytes of data each day which translates into each subscriber downloading several gigabytes of data per month - an amount several orders of magnitude greater than subscribers of conventional 3G data networks.

IPWireless also supplies T-Mobile with multi-mode PCMCIA data cards that support TD-CDMA, EDGE, and GPRS and USB modems.

"IPWireless technology from NextWave provides the performance and reliability that enables T-Mobile to stand out from the competition," said Roland Mahler, managing director, T-Mobile CZ. "Both we and our customers have been extremely pleased with the performance of the network and we look forward to continued subscriber growth as we increase the network's coverage."
