ITU-R Prepares to Give HDR Official Endorsement; with Clear Timetable March 9, 2001 (TOKYO) -- Agreement was reached to give official backing to the high data rate mobile data (HDR) communications system, officially known as "1xEV-DO," at a Working Party 8F gathering of the International Telecommunications Union-Radiocommunications Sector (ITU-R) in late February and early March. The HDR wireless communications system was developed by U.S.-based Qualcomm Inc. At the ITU-R meeting, the participants agreed to try to finalize standardization of the system specifications before November 2001. The specs completion for HDR are now scheduled by some time in the latter half of 2001. The work will be carried out by 3GPP2, an industry group that sets standards for the IMT-2000 third-generation wireless systems such as 1x and HDR, which are extensions of current cdmaOne technology. ITU-R has now made it clear that it intends to give HDR its official recommendation as soon as the specs are ready, and that means that telecoms operators around the world can now start to put in place concrete plans for the early introduction of HDR-based services. As far as Japan is concerned, KDDI has plans to start offering an HDR service some time in 2002, and the company says that the date of the service's launch is unlikely to be influenced by the schedules of the standardization process. nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com
