RadioMovel, a Portuguese mobile operator, will deploy the Motorola SoftSwitch for Code Division Multiple Access (MSS-C) in its network. Motorola described the project as its first such deployment in Europe. The MSS-C platform supports a range of radio standards including CDMA Public Access Mobile Radio (PAMR). The softswitch is five times smaller and uses three times less power than typical legacy circuit switch alternatives. Financial terms were not disclosed.

- Tata Teleservices Ltd., one of the leading private telecom operators in India, has deployed Motorola’s SoftSwitch for CDMA (MSS-C) on a CDMA2000 1X network. The companies said traditional circuit switches cannot continue to scale and evolve cost effectively to meet the requirements of the wireless local loop (WiLL) market in India. Tata Teleservices launched its mobile service network in early July.
In May 2003, Motorola completed its acquisition Winphoria Networks, a start-up providing packet based mobile switching centers for wireless networks. Motorola said adding Winphoria’s soft-switch would address a long-standing need in its network infrastructure portfolio.
