Data usage is contributing new and valuable revenue streams
to operators, and this trend is increasing the demand for
even higher data rates. We continue to evolve our technology
to enable increased speeds and functionality for advanced
3G systems. EV-DO, the high-speed data evolution of
CDMA2000®
, is already widely available, and more than 120
EV-DO device models are now being sold in South Korea,
Japan and the Americas.
We recently announced DMMX™ (DO Multicarrier Multilink
eXtensions), our platform for driving the EV-DO road map
through the end of the decade. Part of our DMMX strategy
is to be both the leading supporter of the standards-based
enhancements to EV-DO technology (Revision A and Revision
B), and the leader in implementing other enhancements that
signifi cantly improve system performance but don’t require
changes to standards.
These developments will open the door to mobile voice over
Internet protocol (VoIP) services and very low-latency applica-
tions such as push-to-talk. With DMMX, phones will operate in a
concurrent “multilink” manner with multiple radio technologies
(or links) while simultaneously receiving and transmitting at
multiple frequencies (or “multicarrier”). MediaFLO is a good
example of DMMX, because audio and video transmissions
over cellular networks (using EV-DO or HSDPA) can be seam-
lessly combined with transmissions received using the FLO™
technology operating in separate spectrum. The goal is to
enable our operator partners to provide a superior multimedia
experience at the lowest possible cost.
On the WCDMA side of 3G, we are leading the development
of HMMX™ (HSDPA Multicarrier Multilink eXtensions). We
continue to provide our WCDMA customers and partners
with products that support higher data rates through our
High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High-
Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) solutions. Through
these solutions, they in turn can provide their customers
with enhanced multimedia and IP-based data capabilities
including multicasting.
Additionally, we continue to focus on Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies for mobile broad-
band Internet protocol-based (IP) services. Our internal
development efforts in OFDM and MIMO (multiple input,
multiple output) technologies led to DO Platinum Multicast,
