Another interesting piece. Don't know where this guy got it from, but interesting none the less.... IN CARS" QUALCOMM?s HDR system we can expect to see an explosion of services that provide both consumers and business users with on-the-go access to multimedia content that today is accessible only in fixed locations like the desktop or the living room," said Dr. James Brailean, president and chief technology officer of PacketVideo. "We are pleased to have this opportunity to demonstrate the key role that PacketVideo?s compression technology will play in making multimedia services available." "The combination of HDR transmission capabilities with PacketVideo?s encoding and decoding technology shows that wireless operators can bring compelling entertainment, information, and even two-way communication to their subscribers sooner than anyone thought possible," said Jeff Jacobs, senior vice president, business development for QUALCOMM. "The data rates used today for the demonstration can support more than ten simultaneous multimedia connections per sector." HDR supports e-mail, Web browsing, e-commerce, telematics and many other applications while offering end-users continuous, untethered access to the Internet and next generation data services. HDR?s versatility allows the technology to be embedded in handsets, laptops and handheld computers, and other fixed, portable and mobile devices." "IN CARS" HDR provides a spectrally efficient up to 2.4 Mbps peak rate in a standard 1.25 MHz channel bandwidth. Optimized for packet data services, HDR incorporates a flexible architecture based on standard Internet Protocols (IP). HDR?s IP-based architecture allows flexible implementation of this wireless system in high-performance and cost-effective ways. As a complementary solution to voice networks utilizing operator?s existing cell sites, towers, antennas and network equipment, HDR technology allows operators to leverage their current infrastructure investment and cellular/Personal Communication Services (PCS) networks. It can also be implemented as a stand-alone system using off-the-shelf IP backbone equipment. HDR is compatible with IS-95A, IS-95B and future cdma2000? networks, enabling existing cdmaOne„ and cdma2000 service providers to obtain higher capacities and superior performance by optimizing voice and data spectrum separately, serving both applications from the same network. messages.yahoo.com
