<<<Maybe engineer can remember how long it took Airtouch to get the system going (I was only marginally aware of CDMAOne at the time).>>>> Airtouch started a trial in 1994 and finally came online in Nov 1995, with full service in 1996. Korea started in 1994, and started commercial service in Oct 1995, but the system got really stable and well developoed in 1996. Answer....even when you install it, it takes more than a year to tune it up and make it work. Sprint took more than a year, Airtouch took more than a year. After 4 years, it now takes them more like a few months, but alot of learning has gone on since then. With the Asynch pilot channel, I suspect that they will take alot longer than a year to satisfy the carrier signoff reuirements for dropped calls during handoff. But that is just my opinion.
