Mexico's Iusacell Launches CDMA2000 1X Voice/Data Service with Lucent

Grupo Iusacell launched the first CDMA2000 1X voice and data network in Mexico. Lucent Technologies delivered a CDMA2000 1X network upgrade that significantly increased the voice capacity of the network while enabling data access at speeds of up to 144 kbps. Lucent upgraded Iusacell's existing Lucent-supplied base stations with CDMA2000 1X channel cards and software, and also provided software upgrades for Iusacell's mobile switching centers. It also supplied its NavisRadius authentication, authorization and accounting server.
