\u00b7 Hyundai Electronics Industries Co., Ltd. today announced that it signed a five-year agreement allowing AirTouch Cellular and its affiliates to purchase cdmaOneTM Pico and Micro wireless base stations for their personal communications systems (PCS) and cellular networks.<\/strong><\/div>\n

AirTouch Cellular is a subsidiary of Vodafone AirTouch Plc based in the United Kingdom, the world\u2019s largest wireless communications firm, with over 31 million proportionate customers worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis agreement facilitates AirTouch and our affiliates\u2019 ability to deploy affordable, modular base station technology, resulting in significant operational savings in both backhaul and site expenses,\u201d said Brent Bettencourt, director of strategic technology at AirTouch. \u201cIt also provides flexibility to offer improved service in locations where it has not been cost efficient to do so in the past, such as outlying areas, variable traffic corridors, and inside buildings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHyundai is delighted to have the opportunity to offer AirTouch and its affiliates the same advanced technology currently used to support subscribers in Korea, the largest CDMA network in the world,\u201d remarked Kelly Joyce, director of sales for wireless networks at Hyundai Electronics. \u201cAt Hyundai, we are committed to providing exceptional customer service, and we are confident AirTouch and other carriers will recognize the advantages of partnering with a network solutions provider dedicated to delivering advanced technology and superior customer support.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ultra-compact, lightweight Hyundai Pico base station offers unparalleled flexibility for mounting nearly anywhere \u2013 indoors or outdoors. Its silent operation makes it ideal for office buildings where the noise of a fan is unacceptable. Additional base stations can be added for multi-sector or multi-carrier coverage while sharing a fractional T1 or E1 network connection.<\/p>\n

The Hyundai Micro base station offers additional capacity along with many of the same advantages as the Pico base station. Hyundai\u2019s CDMA Pico and Micro base transceiver stations (BTS) and base station controllers (BSC) are inter-operable with other vendors\u2019 mobile switching centers (MSC) in accordance with IS-634A and CDG-IOS 2.0 standards. Hyundai base stations are offered with Celletra BeamerTM array technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cCelletra\u2019s unique BeamerTM technology of modular and controllable active antennas will substantially enhance the coverage and capacity of Hyundai\u2019s base stations,\u201d said Dr. Joseph Shapira, President and CEO of Celletra Ltd. \u201cThis solution is reliable and affordable, adding a new dimension in flexibility for optimizing wireless networks\u201d.<\/p>\n
