Nextel and Motorola today announced updates regarding the future of iDEN® digital technology. Nextel is working with Motorola on two significant technical projects. The first is Motorola's "6:1 voice coder" software, which will nearly double the capacity of the company's wireless interconnect network. The technology will be delivered in the first quarter of 2003, with third quarter commercial roll-out. Another milestone will be achieved today in the first publicly-demonstrated Direct Connect conversation to span multiple calling areas. Currently all Nextel customers are able to use Direct Connect only within their home calling areas. Coast-to-coast Nationwide Direct Connect is expected to be available mid-year 2003.
