The biggest difference... >> The biggest difference is that HDR requires operators to set aside a whole channel just for data while Motorola?s 1X Plus allows operators to offer data and voice from the same channel. << The biggest difference is that HDR is ready to deploy and 1X Plus is not. Also I suspect Nokia's support of 1X Plus is not because they now see 1X CDMA as the path to 3G but as part of a divide the CDMA camp and conquer strategy

So far Nokia and Motorola are pitted against Qualcomm and Lucent Technologies, which announced last week that it would work to standardize Qualcomm?s high data rate (HDR) solution. HDR is a Qualcomm solution that competes with Motorola?s 1X Plus. The biggest difference is that HDR requires operators to set aside a whole channel just for data while Motorola?s 1X Plus allows operators to offer data and voice from the same channel. Sounds like another attempt by Nokia to back a technology for delay purposes. On the other hand, it doesn't mention W-CDMA so I take that as a positive. Also, no Nokia handsets support any type of 1x technology, so the faster this stuff gets to market the better. Motorola is encouraged by Nokia?s support. ?When you get a company like Nokia teamed up to bring this technology forward, you have a high chance of success,? said Neal Campbell, director of CDMA product marketing for Motorola. Translation: "We didn't have a prayer in making this work. At least if a company with as big a name a Nokia supports it, we don't seem so stupid."

koreaherald.co.kr Korea Telecom establishes IMT-2000 system standard Korea Telecom (KT) said yesterday that it has established a standard for asynchronous type IMT-2000 system in conjunction with 24 equipment manufacturers, including LG Information and Communication and Samsung Electronics. A technical committee representing the 24 equipment manufacturers and KT took about one month to set the common standards for nine systems that will be used within the IMT-2000 network. The nine systems include router, handset, base station, base station controller, home location register, intelligent peripheral, universal message system, short message system and authentication center. Setting a standard for the various systems is crucial as manufacturers must reach an agreement on a common standard before they can proceed with making their products. "We've chosen to develop the technology locally rather than entering into partnerships with foreign companies, giving Korean companies a chance to lead the domestic market for IMT-2000 equipment," said a KT official.
