Nortel said it will offer a converged CDMA and WLAN platform: The offering means that CDMA operators can deploy WLANs to deliver higher-bandwidth at a lower cost. This type of offering will make a lot of sense once more combined Wi-Fi and cellular devices become available. Cellular operators most likely won't be interested in converged solutions that require them to offload traffic from their cellular networks onto WLANs owned by someone else. But it makes sense for them to offload cellular traffic onto WLANs they own and this type of offering from Nortel should make it easier for operators to efficiently deploy both types of networks. The platform supports seamless roaming between the two types of networks.
