Research Firm Thinks CDMA May surpass GSM As Wireless Standard

NEW YORK - CDMA, or code division multiple access, may surpass GSM, or global system for mobile
communications, within fve years to become the most popular format for digital wireless
telecommunications systems, market-research firm Phillips Business Information Inc. said Tuesday.

Potomac, Md.-based Phillips said CDMA is positioned to become the leading format, which should
help Motorola Inc. and other companies that have spent heavily on CDMA.

The European Union's decision in the late 1980s to adopt the GSM standard helped European
companies get a jump on the rest of the world. In current digital-cellular networks, especially in areas
outside the U.S., GSM is the most popular format.

Japanese Carriers Say CDMA Quality Up

Results of a survey conducted by Japan's DDI and Nippon Ido Tsushin following a test of cdmaOne
technology revealed that subscribers liked the wireless service better than wireline offerings as far as
voice quality service July 14. The carriers surveyed some 1,400 subscribers, nearly 100% of whom said
they liked the cdmaOne phones better than other cellular handhelds.
