The EV-DO Rev A broadband technology used in the Alcatel-Lucent
solution is a high-volume, open-standard commercial technology used by
major service providers worldwide. As a result of wide-ranging competitive
activity, using a mainstream mobile technology can often deliver a growing
range of new capa bilities, more cost effectively. Leveraging the economies of
scale the commercial networks offer helps drive down expenses for network
elements, mobile devices and development of innovative features. Wide
deployment also encourages ongoing product support — and helps maintain
a commitment to the open standards that allow interoperability. For first
responders, these benefits include:
• High-performance capabilities resulting from billions of dollars in R&D
investment for the commercial market
• Vendor competition that enhances innovation
• Highly diverse selection of user devices.
• Roaming on commercial networks with a common device
• Forward/backward compatibility as commercial technology evolves to 4G.
