India to allow full CDMA infrastructure in WLL networks cellular-news.com The Indian Department of Telecommunications has rejected a request from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) that the basic telecoms providers are required to use an older V5.2 interface in their networks. The Trai had requested that V5.2 be mandated for the mobile switching centre element of the WLL networks, as it would prevent the networks from offering full mobility, which is beyond the scope of their operating license. Whilst conventional V5.2 does not permit cell handover, which is forbidden in the WLL licenses, although there is a "plug-in" module that would have permitted this. The DoT has noted that V5.2 does not prevent full mobility services, and as it is typically 30% more expensive than conventional MSC's, there was no reason to mandate its use. By allowing the WLL licensees to use standard CDMA based architecture, there could now be a possibility of the licenses being extended to full cellular networks in the future, as it will be easier for the WLL networks to be upgraded to full CDMA 1X services.
