Qualcomm Intros New 1GHz and Multi-Mode Chips
Network Upgrade?
With LTE/WiMax going forward, I wasn't sure that this would happen, but a dual mode handset with LTE/SVDO or WiMax/SVDO would win.
^If you want the full information. Phone Scoop provided this story months ago. CDMA 1X Advanced.
Interesting how history comes back around. Sprint fought for EV-DV before EV-DO. This would have given us the same benefits plus more. Nobody wanted it. Now here it comes in another form.
Domestic carriers VZW & Sprint jumped straight from IS-95A (aka cdmaOne) to IS-2000 (aka cdma2000 1xRTT), but they skipped over an intermediate standard: IS-95B. While IS-95A permitted a mobile just one code channel, IS-95B allowed for aggregation of up to eight code channels, each of which could carry either 9.6 kbps or 14.4 kbps payload.
For example, an IS-95B mobile in voice traffic would use only one code channel. But a mobile in data traffic would use a maximum of eight code channels for a combined 76.8 kbps (8 x 9.6 kbps) or 115.2 kbps (8 x 14.4 kbps). And a mobile in simultaneous voice + data traffic would use one code channel for voice plus one to seven addit...

Who is our? Sprint?
LTE makes sense for Verizon since Vodaphone is migrating to it as well.
