But, IS-95 is not 'packet-switched' for more than 14.4kbps. After that it is circuit switched. Thus, carriers will charge per 14.4 channel, not per Mbit. But the Motorola release says their new solution is packet-switched and we were discussing the 64Kbps of this solution. Nov. 30, 1999--Motorola, Inc.'s Network Solutions Sector (NSS) will be demonstrating an end-to-end solution for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) high speed packet data during the CDMA Americas Congress '99 to network operators. CDMA Packet Data, based on the IS-95B specification, will support data rates up to 64Kbps. Trials are under way and the high speed packet data solutions will be available commercially in the first quarter 2000. CDMA Packet Data provides a cost-effective migration path to third generation (3G) data services and allows cellular and PCS operators the opportunity to gain experience and expertise in Internet Protocol (IP) and the wireless data marketplace. Thanks for your explanation of how the difference between Circuit and packet data is not always black and white but what gives here? Bux
