Yes it is. Your GSM 3g is a variant of CDMA, GSM died at 2g/edge

CDMA is more efficient at handling bandwidth, offers a more secure connection (aka harder to crack)and gives better/more consistent coverage per tower than GSM. It is the clearly superior technology.

in Europe GSM was government mandated, as it was in several other international locations. These companies did not have the chance to chose what tech they wanted, since they were locked into GSM before CDMA became commercial.


CDMA is not the evolution of GSM, but it is directly superior. For that matter, CD's arn't the evolution of VHS.

So let me put it another way: GSM=LaserDisc CDMA=DVD/HDVD LTE=Blue Ray. Totally different techs, operating a similar medium.
