The release of Airvana’s latest EV-DO technology enables operators to deploy push-to-talk services that for the first time can meet or exceed stringent performance requirements such as uncompromising quality-of-service and sub-one-second ‘push-to-beep’ response time, on an All-IP mobile broadband network. By delivering superior push-to-talk services on their existing EV-DO Rev A networks, operators are able to leverage the same mobile broadband network infrastructure that they are using to provide many other IP services.

David Nowicki, vice president of marketing and product management at Airvana, said: With our new EV-DO software, mobile operators can cost-effectively deploy and scale valuable new service offerings.
