Dave - I cannot comment on all of the Ericsson claims about WCDMA vs WBCDMAOne, but at least on one they are claiming as a technical difference when it is really philosophical: WCDMA does not use GPS to synchronize, whereas CDMAOne does. This means that CDMAOne is either cheaper (W-CDMA has to use fancy techniques to synchronize) or CDMAOne gets better performance. But W-CDMA is not dependent on the US provided single point failure of GPS. The trade is performance vs vulnerability (or ease of installation out of site of the constellation) and is really philosophical not technical. Given Ericsson's history of misinformation and that there is at least one such type of info in this paper, I am not inclined to believe too much that Ericsson has to say. Clark PS BTW, if anybody knows what the spectrum allocations are for the 3g systems, it should be a relatively easy matter to determine whether the different chip rates have any major effect on capacity. Anybody know (from an outside source neither Ericsson or Qualcomm)?
