3G Deployable CellularSystem Solution

• Small form-factor, deployable, self-contained
  3G standards based CDMA2000 1x cellular system
• Includes BTS (cell site), BSC (call processing
  computer) and soft switch
• All components interconnect by IP
• Provides Clear Voice, Secure Voice and wireless
  Data services
• Capable of operating in a stand-alone
  configuration or connected to other
  communications networks via industry standard
  connections
• Capable of operating as a pico-cell or macro-cell
  coverage area
• Packaged in transit cases for ease of shipping,
  storage, setup, and operation
• System can be vehicle mounted
• Supports other QUALCOMM wireless solutions and
  services such as BREW, QSec-2700 secure phone,
  (and in the future) position location services
  and SeQureChat PTT
