WHY MIGRATE TO CDMA2000 1X?

CDMA2000 1X is the first step into third generation (3G)

networks for IS-95 based networks. CDMA2000 1X
increases the over-the-air capacity while supporting
IP-based data services to help you deliver new revenuegenerating services for end users, while decreasing
capital outlays and operational expenses.

Significant advantages accrue to operators who move

forward with CDMA2000 1X. First, the technology offers
improved voice capacity and higher data rates over existing
IS-95A/B technologies, supporting a voice capacity
improvement up to two times and data rates up to 153 Kbps.
And because CDMA2000 1X is backward-compatible, it
allows a cost-effective migration from IS-95A/B to 1X.
This means you can upgrade to 1X while maintaining your
current infrastructure and handset investments, thereby
reducing capital outlays.
In addition, CDMA2000 1X provides a choice of overlay or nonoverlay configurations, allowing you to implement the 1X
technology in either your existing spectrum or in a new 3G
spectrum. This gives you the flexibility to choose the migration
path to 3G that is most appropriate for your market conditions.

architecture that seamlessly integrates packet-based
network elements to support packet-based services
independently of the voice traffic. This approach efficiently
supports both bursty services, such as data, and continuous
services such as voice effortlessly on the same network.
With this capability you can leverage investments in existing
networks and allow data capacity to expand independently,
cost-efficiently growing your network as your market
conditions dictate.

From high to low capacity,

macro to micro coverage,
both indoors and outdoors,
Motorola offers flexible CDMA
BTS options that provide
superior performance,
increased efficiency, low
maintenance costs and
remote diagnostic capabilities.
Motorolas CDMA2000 1X line

PROTECTING OPERATOR INVESTMENTS AND REVENUES

REDUCING COST OF OWNERSHIP

With Motorola helping to lead the way to 3G, you can

continue to generate revenue based on your current
network, while moving to IP at a pace that is right for your
market conditions and growth strategy. Our backwardcompatible CDMA2000 1X architecture leverages existing
networks by adding packet-based network elements.
Because you can reuse this legacy equipment within the
1X architecture, your current infrastructure investments
are protected and you gain a more orderly, cost-effective
migration from 2G to 3G with minimum risk to existing
revenue streams.

Based on IP technologies, which is one of the most flexible and efficient methods for
delivering content today, our CDMA2000 1X solution can greatly reduce your CapEx and OpEx.

ENABLING NEW REVENUE GENERATION

Combined with our network product solutions, our

CDMA2000 1X solution enables you to generate incremental
revenue and differentiate your brands through new dataoriented services. Short Message Services (SMS) such as
Mobile Originated/Mobile Terminated SMS and Cell
Broadcast enable text-based messaging to and from
subscribing mobile devices. New packet data services
such as high-speed Internet, m-commerce and advertising
offer opportunities for enhancing revenues. Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs) enable you to offer external corporate
Intranet-type services to security conscious businesses.
These types of revenue-generating services provide you
the flexibility you need to establish successful new
business models that maximise ARPU.

For example, by incorporating IP transport within the network, you gain the ability to
right-size your network to meet your specific traffic demands, a factor that can minimise
your capital expenditures. Several more technical advantages of our CDMA2000 1X solution
help generate total cost savings:
The introduction of the Selection Distribution Unit (SDU) into our CDMA2000 1X network
is a key enabler in the migration to a fully IP, peer-to-peer, high-capacity, highly available
Radio Access Network (RAN). The SDU generates significant capacity gains within the
RAN, effectively reducing your cost of ownership. Additionally, the SDU provides significant
value by reducing network complexity, improving operability, improving network availability
and establishing a platform for future enhanced services.
Because our BTS solutions support both IS-95A/B and CDMA2000 1X standards, you
gain the flexibility to support both subscriber types with the same hardware. If youre
an existing Motorola operator, you can upgrade your SC 4812 BTS series to support
CDMA2000 1X with simple, cost-effective board and software upgrades, resulting in a
faster time-to-market and reduced cost of ownership. Lower ownership costs are also
achieved through an efficient transport network that reduces your BTS backhaulrelated expenses.
The cost of ownership advantages extend to the Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN),
which provides the interface between the IP-RAN and the data network. Scaling, one of
the key features of the PDSN, provides you with the flexibility to configure the size of
the data network to fit the initial data offering and grow the network by adding PDSNs
to a cluster of n+1 PDSNs for redundancy.

MAXIMISING CAPACITY AND

COVERAGE

As average voice minutes of use

continue to rise, and new data
services contribute to the need
to support more traffic in smaller
footprints, you must continually
seek more cost-effective means
to support the increased traffic
demands.
Our CDMA2000 1X solution
addresses this need. The
advanced Motorola BTS platforms
provide the industrys highest
capacities within a single frame.
Backhaul links to the BTS, based
on IP, use compression and
multiplexing techniques that
increase the capacity of the
backhaul from the BTS to the
Base Station Controller (BSC),
helping to significantly reduce
backhaul costs. And with our
new platforms, such as the SDU,
you can achieve considerable
capacity gains by utilising the
latest processors to support
more traffic in smaller packages.
These innovations all add up to
more capacity and better coverage,
smaller footprints and a lower
total cost.

TAKING OPERABILITY TO A NEW LEVEL

Part of reducing your operational expense includes making it easier for you to operate
your 1X network. Our open network management system includes a suite of products which,
when used together, provides an effective solution for planning, operating and optimising a
converged network of voice and data. Through intuitive graphical user interfaces, youre
able to monitor fault, state and configuration events and information on each of the RAN
components. Our integration of radio and IP as well as 2G and 1X components into a common
set of management tools has obvious advantages to both your CapEx and OpEx.
The operability advantages extend to these other aspects of our CDMA2000 1X solution:
IP-based platforms such as the SDU, combined with the IP transport network, allow
resources to be shared across multiple BSCs. This reduces or eliminates the need for
managing complex interconnections and handoff functions between BSCs, greatly
reducing network complexity and improving overall system operability.
The distributed nature of the architecture eliminates hierarchical dependencies between
network elements, reducing potential bottlenecks within the network. Operational activities
aimed at managing these bottlenecks, such as BTS reparenting, can be eliminated.
Remote channel activation allows you the ability to upgrade the channel capacity at
the BTS remotely through software activation. This eliminates the manpower costs of
visiting the BTS for channel expansions.
PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY OF SERVICE

Its fundamental: To keep your customers satisfied, you must ensure that they are able to
make and receive high-quality calls every time, at any time. Our CDMA2000 1X solutions
have been designed to provide the top-flight quality of service your customers demand.
Our networks are performance leaders in measured statistical categories such as fewest
dropped calls and call success rates. And our latest platforms further improve quality of
service by providing IP-based platforms such as the SDU that can support upgrades without
interrupting service to the end user, to improve overall network availability.
In addition, the IP nature of the RAN allows us to connect multiple regions together into a
single Soft Handoff zone, virtually eliminating the need for lower-quality Hard Handoffs.
Plus, support for Mobile IP provides access to a carriers entire network, enabling wireless
users to access Web and data services without interruption while moving between networks.
And because the IP transport network supports industry standard quality of service
techniques, you gain another means to protect voice traffic and maintain overall quality.
