Cax, << Qualcoms initial claims of capacity were 15-20 times the capacity of analog, which they are now getting with 1x. Even the IS-95a systems made 7-11x capacity of analog. >> Initial claims were 40x analog and 7 to 10x GSM. By the time IS-95 was FINALLY released, GSM had released the half-rate codec and in actuality advantage was in the arena of 3 to 3.5x GSM exept in urban areas where it was less. Despite this and until just over a year ago the CDG web site stated a 4 to 5 x capacity advantage over GSM and Qualcomm executives were still claiming the same, causing a significant credibility gap with any carrier prospect they talked to. 1xRTT will get them to about 5x GSM at such time as a 1xRTT network is 100% digital and uses 100% 1xRTT handsets by which time GSM nets will be using the AMR codec so its anyones guess as to what the 1xRTT capacity advantage will be at that time. - Eric -
