CDG Defines EV-DO Revision C, Renames Standard
Tuesday, 11:43 AM source: CDG
The CDMA Development Group (CDG) today announced preliminary details of EV-DO Revision C, which uses additional technologies to squeeze even more data into a fixed amount of spectrum. The latest version of EV-DO will take advantage of every modern wireless technology and buzzword to pack spectrum with as much data as possible, including CDMA, TDM, OFDM, Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) advanced antenna techniques. The standard, which will be called Ultra Mobile Broadband, is capable of download speeds up to 280 Mpbs, although the CDG has not yet said how much spectrum will be required to re...

I'd like to see someone actually offer that.. 20MHz of spectrum.
The main problem with CDMA is that its lack of global roaming ability, being stuck with that ANSI core. Technically speaking, GSM can (and has) used different types of air interface, from TDMA/GSM (200kHz channels), 1x (aka GSM 1x) and GSM/UMTS (aka w-CDMa 5MHz channels).

If that's the main selling point for GSM (Roaming internationally), that's pretty weak. Out of the 100s or 1000s of people you know, how many of them are travelling abroad?
Honestly, I can't think of one person who travels abroad at least 1 time a year. Of course, I'm on the west coast, so things could be different on the east coast...?

I live in Florida, and I can say that I know of, a couple of businesses have dropped the Nextel brand in favor of GSM services from Cingular, that way a single contact phone number can be easily handled while the business users travel abroad. It is considered more of an expense to lose a customer to unavailability than it is to pay international roaming charges.
It is different for individuals, a lot of individuals don't travel like that, but in the business world, contact is important. If I'm not mistaken, businesses generate more revenue per user than end consumers, do they not?

Oh, I forgot to add something:
Right now, a big advantage of the GSM family is data coverage. While in a UMTS area, you can have those speed, while in an EDGE area, those speeds, and in a GPRS area, those speeds are available (for e-mail, for instance). With Cingular, we have always been able to have data coverage (albeit sometimes slow) wherever we have had voice coverage and required data. With Sprint, when you were roaming on another carrier's network, data was a no-go. That's with the carriers interoperability agreements, though, not the technology.

I see your point, and like I said earlier, things are probably different on the East coast...
In response to your earlier post, I'd say business users generate more ARPU, but not in total volume, not even close.
And four your knowledge, Sprint allows data roaming in many areas now. Of course, not when using AMPS.

7.2Mbps early 2007...
Rev A is not even completely deployed... 🙄 Then there will be "B" and "C"
In the mean time (Jan 2007) for GSM there will be 7.2Mbps with HSDPA 😈

More people use GSM, more research will go into it. GSM will always be one step ahead of CDMA.

Of course, that's always been the case in the past, right?

*cough cough* wimax *cough cough* 🤣
wimax is 70mbps and extends over 10 miles on 1 tower.
rev a is for calling and ptt. thats it 🤣
see you at the finish line with my sprint phone

Sprint should worry about bringing customers in the door (first) Before they start bragging about their network...
That'll be like me throwing a surprise party at an vacant house 🤣 🤣

aww thats so sad, that your only rebut is churn rate.... keep enjoying your slow internet.... and I will keep blazing through the web on my sprint phone..... 😈

hmm... Ultra Mobile Broadband sounds like a sweet idea... but why not an Ultra Mobile Network... One network that we can all agree on... like some combination of GSM and CDMA... or something... where you can use sim cards, global roaming, and great data. That would be sweet.

Ehem, it does exist...it's called HSDPA. GSM core. CDMA air-interface. Sim cards, global roaming, and great data!
Whaddyaknow.

According to a previous article posted here... this is what's in store for GSM
At ITU Telecom in Hong Kong, several manufacturers are showing off HSUPA, the next evolution in 3G technology after HSDPA. Qualcomm will be demonstrating an HSUPA network with 1.5 Mbps upload speeds; HSDPA is currently limited to 384 Kbps uploads. LG and Samsung both have working HSUPA handsets at the show, which are live on test networks. No Carriers outside of Asia have yet committed to HSUPA, however many - including Cingular - have built their 3G networks to be software upgradeable. So it will be relatively quick and easy to move to the new standard once handsets and other equipment is available. Qualcomm is also giving visitors a taste of the next version ...
