MEDIA ADVISORY, Nov. 2, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) --
WHEN: November 2, 2005
WHAT: In response to recent EV-DO launches from Sprint and
Verizon, Airvana's CEO Randy Battat states the following:
"Given EV-DO Revision-A's vast capabilities for mobile
broadband everywhere -- namely for voice, video, and data
over EV-DO networks -- EV-DO operators such as Sprint and
Verizon gain an aggressive lead over the likes of Cingular.
With commercial deployments of Rev-A on the horizon, EV-DO
operators will see sharp increases in revenue and customer
retention. Airvana provides the all-IP 3G Radio Access
Network infrastructure that dramatically improves the
economics of deploying high-speed mobile Internet services,
including VoIP, multicast, and application-level QoS. For
subscribers, Rev-A will make their mobile phones and PDAs
perform like home PCs hard-wired to fat pipes." -- Randy
Battat, CEO, Airvana, Inc.
