CDMA Gang Prepares for Battle
bwcs.com

(12/04/2002, BWCS Staff) KDDI of Japan and LG of South Korea say they plan to set up a global  CDMA belt  to attack the dominance of the rival WCDMA 3G standard. The two operators say they will cooperate on technology issues and marketing initiatives. In addition, they plan to establish an alliance with other CDMA operators that will stretch into Australia, China, India, South East Asia and North and South America.

KDDI has already established a business cooperation deal with China Unicom, the only carrier in the People's Republic licensed to use CDMA technology. According to the Chinese operator it currently has some 800,000 CDMA customers, a sharp increase of 280,000 on the figure for mid-March. China Unicom completed the first phase of its CDMA network build at the end of 2001.

The backers of CDMA technology believe their systems will ultimately prove more popular than the WCDMA system. Companies such as KDDI and LG argue that cdma2000 systems can be rolled out faster and will cost less than its competitor.
