Today, we are on the threshold of an imminent Internet mobility explosion, the reasons for this being new technologies coupled with newer applications. We constantly hear the industry and the media talk about future technologies that facilitate and manage this boom in mobile Internet usage. In this context, abbreviations like CDMA, TDMA, UMTS, WCDMA, FDMA, EDGE, GPRS and 3G are very commonplace, abbreviations that may in the near future become household names.
In the journey towards understanding the various digital wireless technologies that will jettison this Internet mobility explosion, we have come to another important milestone, a technology milestone that has in its own way changed the course of communications. It is popularly called as CDMA or Code Division Multiple Access.
Today, CDMA is enabling a large number of exciting new products and services, from your palm phones to satellite communications. At present, tens of millions of subscribers are being serviced commercially by CDMA networks, and this number is rapidly growing. No wonder ‘the technology of choice’ for the next generation wireless communications is CDMA.
Let’s look at the reasons as to why CDMA should be ‘the technology of choice’ for next generation digital wireless communications, products and services.
What is CDMA?
How does CDMA work?
What sets CDMA apart?
Enhanced reception features
CDMA filters out background noise, cross talk and interference so that you can enjoy crystal-clear voice quality. With fewer dropped calls, enhanced security and greater reliability it becomes even more attractive. While allowing for more users to be on the system simultaneously (due to greater network capacity), it still results in fewer blocked calls for users of a CDMA network.
Wide coverage
CDMA's ‘spread spectrum’ signal technology provides the widest coverage in the wireless communications industry, allowing networks to be built with far fewer cell sites than is possible with other wireless technologies. Fewer cell sites result in reduced operating expenses, this means savings to both operators and consumers.
Security with CDMA
In-built Packet Data Protocols
While there’s a relentless quest for offering a whole lot of features and services to the subscriber, here CDMA digital already has an edge with a whole lot on offer like, crystal-clear voice quality, greater privacy and reliability, and enhanced call quality. CDMA supports telephone service on both 800 MHz and 1900 MHz frequencies, and also for both analog and digital modes. We have possibly all that one could ask for as a subscriber.
In the ‘war’ of digital wireless technologies, in CDMA we have an ideal "technology of choice" for the next generation of digital wireless communications.
