Voip News:CDMA2000 evolution to 3G and beyond

The CDMA Development Group (CDG) and Signals Research Group (SRG) announced the availability of a white paper on CDMA2000 evolution to 3G and beyond and the benefits it offers to operators in regards to capacity, data throughput, enhanced functionality and revenue opportunities. The paper, entitled "The 3G Evolution - Taking CDMA2000 into the Next Decade," was prepared by the Signals Research Group on behalf of the CDG, and is based on extensive interviews with operators, equipment suppliers and other industry players. The paper is now available to the public on the CDG's website.

"The evolutionary path of CDMA2000 has enabled operators to migrate to 3G and advanced broadband wireless technologies ahead of their competitors and to lead the industry in transition to next generation services," said Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDG. "CDMA2000 continues to evolve with CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Revision A and B and future enhancements, which will allow operators to introduce VoIP, multi-megabit-per-second speeds, multi-media and broadcast capabilities in the coming years."

According to the paper's sole author, Michael Thelander of the SRG, "Although not always well understood and appreciated, all 3G technologies are CDMA-based, and over time will exhibit similar performance characteristics. The primary difference with CDMA2000 is that the evolution from 2G to 3G, including EV-DO and its future revisions, is relatively seamless due to backward and forward compatibility, "in-band" migration, and an aggressive reuse of existing hardware without the need to deploy an entirely new radio access network. Further, CDMA2000 has a 2-3 year time advantage for those operators that wish to take advantage of it."

The paper includes a comprehensive analysis of the evolutionary path of CDMA technologies, with emphasis on capabilities of the family of CDMA2000 standards commercially available today and future revisions and key success factors that have contributed to the commercial success of the technology. It also provides examples of how CDMA2000 operators have been able to capitalize on the inherent advantages of the CDMA2000 evolution path to expand market share and grow voice and data revenues. The paper clearly demonstrates that while CDMA2000 and WCDMA technologies offer similar performance, the CDMA2000 evolutionary path offers operators significant time-to-market advantage.
