KDDI doubles its wireless data speed in Japan
cellular-news.com

Japan's KDDI Corp. has launched its CDMA2000 1X network today, offering data transmission speeds of up to 144kbps. The new CDMA2000 service will cover 33 municipalities-including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and 12 other major cities in Japan-and 477 regional communities. KDDI says that it plans to expand services gradually to other parts so that, by the end of 2002, 90% of the population will be within the CDMA2000 service area. Since CDMA2000 handsets can still offer conventional 64kbps data transmission even outside those areas offering 144kbps data transmission, customers can use their phones anywhere in the country without worrying about the area they are in.

KDDI President Tadashi Onodera said the company aims to ship seven million handsets for the CDMA2000 1x by the end of March 2003, and the handsets are being priced at about half the cost of the rival DoCoMo's FOMA 3G handsets.
The company is launching with five handsets and you can read about them at cellular-news.com
