Tom and Mike, I'll try and answer this without being too technical. First the URL is : dsccc.com Airspan is a point to multipoint toll grade wireless system that is using CDMA. The subscriber unit offer a 128 Kbps channel, which in turn breaks down into two VF (Voice Freq.) circuits; which is hardwire into the residence's. This unit is an outdoor box. This is NOT IS-95. If anything it is CDMA in it's unbastardize form. IDC/Siemens/Samsung are touting B-CDMA which is 32Kpbs circuits in a point to multipoint service. In digital telephony a toll grade circuit is 64Kbps. Unit recently that is what you talk over on LD or tie-line between switches in wire local loop. So Airspan product doesn't profit QCOM in the terms of IS-95, which is another beast. Now this is where the confusion is, DIGI provides digital cross connect switches. They are competitors with LU and Nortel among others. These switch platforms are flexible. They are used in local loop, LD, Sonet, etc. I believe it is this switch that Motorola is using in their IS-95 application. PCS like any form of telephony has to have a switch, a PBX if you will. Nortel's designator is DMS and LU is 5ESS. Both are utilized in the cellular/PCS biz. For reasons that you can see, Motorola doesn't want to build their own and they for sure don't want a competitors switch; seeing how LU and Nortel are offering their own turnkey package. The problem they are having in China and International is a matter of governmental freq. co-ordination. They are probably looking to see what band is clear that they can utilize this in, probably remote applications. The ad states this can be design to cover 300m to 20km. GTE is looking hard at Airspan for rural application here in the states. Not sure what freq bands they cover, but it isn't the cellular or PCS bands. I got a little to technical, but there isn't anyway to break down. Hope this clears up any questions. Like I said, Airspan doesn't add to QCOM.
