> 17 January 2002 -- Ericsson has announced that it will supply its Jambala 
> Mobility Gateway to Cingular Wireless, the US network operator. Jambala 
> will enable Cingular customers to roam between TDMA and GSM coverage as 
> Cingular upgrades its nationwide network to GSM technology. The platform 
> is compliant with the specifications developed by the GSM/ANSI-136 
> Interoperability Team (GAIT), an industry working group focused on GSM and 
> TDMA compatibility issues. In addition to receiving calls in both TDMA and 
> GSM coverage areas, users will also be able to utilise SMS and other 
> mobile internet services. Nokia recently announced its 6340 GAIT-compliant 
> handset and Sony Ericsson is also known to be working on dual mode GSM / 
> TDMA handsets.
