Network Technology

Alltel operates primarily 800 MHz CDMA using equipment manufactured by Lucent, Motorola and Nortel. Alltel has recently added a few 1900 MHz PCS sites in various places, such as Jacksonville, Florida. Their original network of AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone Service) cellular is still in place, but the company acknowledges that they are agressively converting analog customers to digital. In 2005, an Alltel spokesman stated that only 15% of their customer base still uses analog. Alltel has yet to release official plans for the FCC decision stating that by March 1, 2008 A and B side carriers are no longer required to support analog.
