Excerpt: Tabulations Sent Wirelessly

Bolton said that the iVotronic system uses CDMA (news - web sites) (code division multiple access) and CDPD (cellular digital packet data) wireless technology to send the tabulations from ballots to an elections board or central election site.

"The iVotronic terminal holds the results from thousands of individual ballots, the data is collected from each precinct on a memory device and is then sent to the central election office," Bolton explained. The modem technology, provided by Sierra Wireless and Novatel, is still under development, he said.
