MOT's Galvin on CDMA... upside.com Upside: What's happening with CDMA (code division multiple access)? Galvin: It appears that CDMA will be the underpinning of what might be two slightly different implementations of third-generation cellular. One is off the U.S.-based standard and the other is off the European advocacy for a standard. They'll both be CDMA. The issue is making them backward-compatible so your customers can evolve and reuse what they've already put in place. The closer it comes to a world standard, the more leverage one can get on common ICs, common software approaches and those kinds of things. There may end up being two slightly different CDMA standards. If that's the case, we would build both of them. But we're urging everybody to make it as close as possible.
