Alcatel-Lucent has introduced a new radio module, based on software defined radio (SDR) technology, which gives mobile service providers the flexibility to support any mix services simultaneously. Using the technology, mobile operators can provide a mixture of services like 2G GSM, 3G W-CDMA/HSPA+ and long term evolution (LTE) among others.

Singapore Telecommunications Limited (SingTel) Group has selected Alcatel-Lucent as one of the vendors for its Long Term Evolution (LTE) trial, which will begin in the first half of 2010.
