THE ROAD TO THE FUTURE…
CONTINUING TECHNOLOGY
The world’s most advanced digital
wireless technology, QUALCOMM’s
CDMA, meets the radio air interface
needs for the next generation of
wireless communications, called
IMT-2000 CDMA. This flexible stan-
dard functions in three modes—
Multi-Carrier, Direct Spread, and
Time Division Duplex—and oper-
ates with ANSI-41 and GSM MAP
networks. CDMA will have the
whole world covered. And with
CDMA chosen as a next generation
standard for the industry, carriers
across the globe will have clear
migration paths for transitioning
their networks. Manufacturers
working on next generation prod-
ucts gain cost advantages and
faster time-to-market. Users will
truly have untethered commu-
nications at high transmission
speeds. Whether you’re a network
operator, a manufacturer or an end
user, CDMA 3G is the promise of
the future.
CDMA TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP
CDMA is the technology for
the next generation.
