So, were you able to discern if it is Motorola's BTS and BSM design that is causing the problem or DSC's phone switch? Did you even read the entire article?
Just in case you think Asia is concentrating on UMTS:

Oh, Sony isn't committed to IS95. Neither is Phillips.

Here is something you said to Qdog:
"And more pertinently; since you probably realized some time ago that 3G is not compatible with IS-95, how come you never informed this thread about this? Have you no shame?"
Shame? Oh darn, another URL.

"The MSM3000 is the first single-chip baseband solution for any cellular or PCS standard to enable data speeds at and above 64 kbps. Taking advantage of CDMA technology enabled us to make the MSM3000 very low powered and cost efficient.
<snip>
The new SuperFingerT demodulator architecture in MSM3000 supports simultaneous demodulation of up to six or eight channels, depending on rate-set used, for a maximum speed of 86.4 kbps.

A new enhanced sleep controller for both CDMA and AMPS Mode will cut power consumption significantly, both in the chip and entire phone. An estimated 200 hours of stand-by time is expected using an 800 mAh battery in CDMA mode and about a 2x improvement of AMPS stand-by time."
There is the first 3GW-capable MSM ASIC that supports both IS41 or GSM-overlay systems. Since this is yet another generation of CDMA ASICs for Qualcomm, how about that battery life?
At 64Kbps, doesn't it look like CDMAOne will win the the race to ISDN data rate?
With the ability to use existing coverage, doesn't it look like UMTS is dead before the standard is finished? (I am sure it will continue, just curious how you would respond.)
"Motorola's fiasco with CDMA phones (more than a year late) and infrastructure (cancelled major order) indicates how difficult it is even for the biggest mobile company in the world to play both narrowband CDMA and GSM fields."
Are Nokia and Samsung doing that now?
"This highligths the dilemma now facing many US companies: if they tie themselves into a 3G standard compatible with IS-95, they effectively take themselves out of competition in the emerging Asian-European W-CDMA field."
So, that means that since Ericy makes GSM phones, their DAMPS products suck?
"Much depends now on how tightly will the Japanese commit to W-CDMA. If they keep their resolve on making W-CDMA the next Asian standard, they will suck in half a dozen SEA countries as well as China. Another interesting question will be Korea's reaction. Samsung has already said it will have to introduce GSM products to become a true mobile leader. "
By announcing the first IS95 PDA, Samsung isn't developing CDMAOne products? I thought Ericsson wanted to be the mobile leader?
Where do you think Samsung is located? Texas? |
