From the other Qualcomm thread....this is huge. I think that gdichaz may have been on the right track. This could be the way into Europe. U.S., Japan Firms To Adopt Qualcomm's Data Transfer Method Sunday, February 27, 2000 WASHINGTON (Nikkei)--Sixteen Japanese, U.S., European and South Koran firms have agreed to standardize technology allowing ultra high-speed Internet access by cellular phones, sources close to the deal said Saturday. The companies include Toshiba Corp. (6502), Sony Corp. (6758) and Lucent Technologies Inc. of the U.S. The technology in question is the HDR high-speed data transfer system developed by Qualcomm Inc. of the U.S. The HDR method allows 32 times faster data transfers than is possible with an ISDN (integrated services digital network) and does not require the use of costly optical-fiber networks. If this is standardized, HDR-based services will be launched in Japan next year, the sources said. HDR uses the 1.25-megaherz frequency, the same frequency bandwidth as for cdmaOne cell phone services available in Japan. The new technology can be relatively easily commercialized in Japan, as it will share radio stations with cdmaOne service providers. The technology can produce 2.4 megabits of throughput per second, allowing the downloading of browser software in a matter of minutes, compared with five hours or so required by conventional technologies. The 16 firms plan to urge the International Telecommunication Union to recognize the technology as a global standard within this year. (The Nihon Keizai Shimbun Sunday edition)
