Little more than a year ago, critics wondered if CDMA would make it to the starting line. Now, CDMA is positioned to catch market leading GSM by early 2003. That is one
of the conclusions of Datacomm Research Company's new study "CDMA Wireless Business Opportunities," a comprehensive report examining CDMA wireless
technology, applications, markets, competition, and future developments.
"Over three years of research support our conclusions that IS95 CDMA possesses significant competitive advantages, and is well positioned in North America, Asia, and
other areas of the globe," said Ira Brodsky, President of Datacomm Research Company. "It is no coincident virtually all leading vendors agree the next generation wireless
technology will be based on CDMA," he adds.
The report explains that while GSM enjoys a comfortable subscriber lead, over 60% of existing and new GSM subscribers come from Western Europe, where growth is
expected to slow. CDMA, in contrast, is better positioned in North America, Asia, and Latin America. And CDMA offers a more compelling solution for fixed and rural
applications crucial requirements in developing countries.
