The Nortel wireless technology will completely replace Belize Telemedia’s current GSM infrastructure provided by a Nortel competitor, as well as deploy a new CDMA 450 MHz network, to support Telemedia’s growing subscriber demand in Belize, and the demand for more advanced products and services across the entire country.

Telemedia’s current wireless infrastructure will be upgraded to a Nortel GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/1900 MHz wireless network, which provides improved network coverage and connectivity for customers. Additionally, the operator will launch a completely new network based on Nortel CDMA 1xRTT and 1xEV-DO technologies in the 450 MHz spectrum, to extend services and help close the communications gap in rural communities.
