CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) is a cellular technology being used in many parts of Asia, North America and South America. Nokia has supplied CDMA handsets since 1997.
CDMA is a “spread spectrum
” technology, which assigns unique codes to each communication to differentiate it from others in the same spectrum. In a world of finite spectrum resources, CDMA enables many people to share the airwaves at the same time. CDMA consistently provides good capacity for voice and data communications.
It is also possible to employ anti-virus software that runs on email gateways that looks for viruses before they enter an organization’s internal network or email system.
The CDMA air interface is used in both 2G and 3G networks. 2G CDMA standards are generally called cdmaOne and include IS-95A and IS-95B, while cdma2000, including cdma2000 1X and cdma2000 1xEV technologies, is one of the dominant IMT-2000 3G standards. CDMA2000 1X can double the voice capacity of cdmaOne networks and delivers peak packet data speeds of 307 kbps in mobile environments. CDMA2000 1xEV includes 1xEV-DO and 1xEV-DV. CDMA2000 1xEV-DO delivers peak data speeds of 3.1 Mbps and supports applications such as MP3 transfers and video conferencing. CDMA2000 1xEV-DV provides integrated voice and simultaneous high-speed packet data multimedia services at speeds of up to 3.1 Mbps.
CDMA is one of the fastest growing wireless technologies. Nokia has a 13-year history of dedicated CDMA research and has a full line-up of CDMA products. Nokia’s expertise is not only in building CDMA handsets, but in developing the technology behind the handsets as well. Nokia has pioneered in the development of a range of next-generation CDMA technologies and has provided leading-edge innovation in our 5 generations of CDMA chipsets. Nokia continues to be recognized as a key driving force behind the CDMA standardization bodies and is in the forefront of of bringing open, interoperable technologies to CDMA.
