CDMA

The world is demanding more from wireless communication technologies than ever before. More people around the world are subscribing to wireless services and consumers are using their handsets more frequently. Add in exciting Third-Generation (3G) wireless data services and applications - such as wireless email, web, digital picture taking/sending and assisted-GPS position location applications - and wireless networks are asked to do much more than just a few years ago. And these networks will be asked to do more tomorrow.

This is where the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology fits in. CDMA consistently provides better capacity for voice and data communications than other commercial mobile technologies.

Short for Code-Division Multiple Access, a digital cellular technology that uses spread-spectrum techniques. Unlike competing systems, such as GSM, that use TDMA, CDMA does not assign a specific frequency to each user. Instead, every channel uses the full available spectrum. Individual conversations are encoded with a pseudo-random digital sequence.
