Economy of scale, wider choices

The EV-DO Rev A broadband technology used in the Alcatel-Lucent solution is a high-volume, open-standard commercial technology used by major service providers worldwide. As a result of wide-ranging competitive activity, using a mainstream mobile technology can often deliver a growing range of new capabilities, more cost effectively. Leveraging the economies of scale the commercial networks offer helps drive down expenses for network elements, mobile devices and development of innovative features. Wide deployment also encourages ongoing product support — and helps maintain a commitment to the open standards that allow interoperability. For first responders, these benefits include:

High-performance capabilities resulting from billions of dollars in R&D investment for the commercial market

Vendor competition that enhances innovation

Highly diverse selection of user devices.

Roaming on commercial networks with a common device

Forward/backward compatibility as commercial technology evolves to 4G.
