OneTel to buy CDMA network technology from UTStarcom
OneTel Communications Ltd (OneTel) has signed an agreement for approximately $4 million to purchase all-IP CDMA (code division multiple access) network technology from UTStarcom, the world's leading IP access networking and service provider.

OneTel Managing Director Asif Rabbani and UTStarcom Chief Executive Officer Hong Lu signed the contract at UTStarcom headquarters in Alameda, USA recently, says a press release.

Among others, Anil Mehndiratta, director of sales and marketing in South Asia for UTStarcom, and David Robinson, vice-president of international sales for UTStarcom, were also present.

OneTel, a fixed telecommunications service provider for the northwestern region of Bangladesh, is expected to offer CDMA with WLL (wireless local loop) FWT (fixed wireless terminal) services in early 2005.
