Hi Ramsey Su, "WCDMA was designed to allow handover between CDMA and legacy GSM systems" That was pasted directly from the article, and it needs to be read in the context of the rest of the discussion that goes with it (note the URL). If you go back and reread that section I think you will find we are in agreement. "Keep in mind that a nominal 5MHZ band is required to provide 144K/384Kbps transmission. " For full 3G capability this is true. I wasn't discussing 1X so your points, while true, are not germane to the point I was making. "You might also note from the article below that this is accomplished with a 5 to 10% loss of spectrum efficiency over WCDMA. " Again, I wasn't referring to HDR. Your comments as such are true, but not relevant to the above statement. The above statement was pasted from the article and presented as such. The article's author has their opinion, you have yours. In the end it really doesn't matter. CDMA2000 will be deployed in CDMAone networks because the protocol was designed for that purpose. The fact that we have design tradeoffs in a very complex technology is to be expected, and is not detrimental to the design. Please don't take it as such. Before we go further on this, let's make it real clear that I am firmly in the Qs corner here. CDMA is going to be the center of 3G deployments and the Q is going to profit a great deal from these developments. My original point to all this is that WCDMA and CDMA2000 protocols were each developed to address a particular set of design goals. As such, each will be deployed in various capacities to address the needs of individual carriers. In the end, CDMA will be everywhere and the Q (and all of us, the currently suffering investors) will profit by this. Regards, DN
