UTStarcom has shown the first live video transmission using EVDO Revision A (Rev A) wireless technology.

The company believes the demonstration of streaming video and VoIP applications, which uses UTStarcom's new EVDO Rev A solution, confirms the technological viability of the standard for powering and delivering broadband wireless services and rich media content to wireless mobile devices

"As a leading provider of wireless broadband technology worldwide, UTStarcom has expanded on its distributed 1xRTT architecture to provide EVDO Rev A capabilities, which is designed to enable operators to offer a much faster network to their customers," said Jack Mar, president of CDMA division at UTStarcom. "With UTStarcom's new distributed EVDO Rev A solution, we expect that operators can offer higher-speed bandwidth for multimedia applications and allow end users to access multiple services at the same time from a single device."

EVDO Rev A Demonstration

The EVDO Rev A demonstration employs UTStarcom's new distributed EVDO Rev A solution, which is part of its MovingMedia 2000 suite of wireless networking products. The MovingMedia 2000 iCell PICO EVDO Rev A IP Radio Access Network (RAN) is designed to enable seamless indoor wireless coverage via cost-effective IP networks, providing a high-performance, cost-effective solution for operators seeking to offer indoor campus-wide roaming. The MovingMedia 2000 iCell Macro 1X and EVDO IP RAN is designed to enable ubiquitous wide-area coverage via IP networks and can be used in urban, suburban, and rural environments.

CDMA2000 4GV Codecs

UTStarcom will also be demonstrating the new CDMA2000 4GV codecs at CTIA. 4GV is the next generation 3GPP2 standards-based EVRC-B codec. 4GV is designed to allow service providers to dynamically prioritize voice capacity on their network as required.

UTStarcom's MovingMedia 2000

As a leading vendor of CDMA technology, UTStarcom's MovingMedia 2000 is designed to provide wireless operators with a complete, all-IP solution to reap the multiple advantages of 3G networks. The solution is designed to offer a smooth migration path for CDMA2000-based providers, allowing them to utilize broadband data technologies such as CDMA2000 1xEV-DO. The system is designed to be backwards compatible with second-generation CDMA (IS-95) technology. Moreover, all solution components are standards based and designed to provide complete interoperability with other standards-based products, allowing wireless operators to preserve their existing equipment investment.

The MovingMedia 2000 solution leverages market-proven technologies and UTStarcom's extensive experience in building IP equipment and deploying IP networks. The MovingMedia 2000 product suite utilizes UTStarcom's distributed softswitch architecture for switching, transport, signaling, and call control. The MovingMedia 2000 product line includes a comprehensive suite of network elements, including base stations (BTS), Softswitch (MSC), Media Gateway, Packet Data Server Node (PDSN) and home agent (HA).
