Nortel Networks introduced a set of products for the CDMA 450 MHz radio spectrum. CDMA 450 is a standard for use in countries transitioning to digital wireless service from Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) 450 analogue service. Because of the lower radio spectrum, CDMA 450 has the advantage of covering a significantly larger geographical footprint compared to traditional cellular systems.
Separately, Nortel Networks announced a CDMA2000 450 MHz contract with Telekom Baltija in Latvia. In addition, Nortel Networks is conducting CDMA 450 trials with a number of operators across Eastern Europe, and has just completed a CDMA 450 trial with UralWestcom, a joint venture between Russian Telecommunications Development Corporation (RTDC) and Ural Svyaz Inform. http://www.nortelnetworks.com
