Belize Telemedia (BTL) has selected Nortel Networks for extending mobile coverage to rural areas and upgrading its infrastructure using new technology platforms. Nortel would upgrade BTL s GSM/GPRS 1900MHz infrastructure to an EDGE-powered 850MHz/ 1900MHz network, which would improve capacity, coverage, and functionality. BTL is planning to roll out a new network based on Nortel s CDMA 1xRTT, as well as 1x-EV-DO technologies in the 450MHz frequency band.
