Hi, Mike - Sorry for the late response. The bolded paragraph: "The company is emphasizing its capability in emerging mobile technologies such as enhanced data for GSM evolution (EDGE), which Maloney expects will provide wireless data services at 384 kilobits per second by 2001. He believes EDGE will eventually serve 80% of the world's digital mobile subscribers. By integrating access to EDGE into its core network, Motorola is positioning itself as a turnkey supplier to operators with both wireline and wireless capability." - is an out-take from the article which followed it. In the article - Maloney is described as - "Mike Maloney, general manager, global distribution and operations, for Motorola's network solutions sector... The link was from the Totaltele.com site, and is still active. As best I can recall, I was catching up on posts from that site, which I like, because it has it has a more "Euro" take on comms news, in general. I'm interested in your take on the Alcatel correlation. ____________________________________________________________ I think this post predated the beginnings of the mobile Last Mile discussion. What interested were two references - (a) The reference to EDGE, which is TDMA. (b) Subsequent references to networks from both Motorola and Ericsson, in which mobile solutions are integrated into the network. - and (what I took as) the inference that GSM, GPRS, and EDGE (TDMA) would all offer superior transmission of mobile data streams: thus the question: "Well, okay...but what about CDMA? How does that fit into this scenario? My understanding is that CDMA is sub-optimal as a high-capacity mobile carrier. What about HDR? If the quotation above is true, what does that say about the future?" I'm not at all sure about TDMA vs CDMA, but I feel that TDMA is beginning to pull ahead as an eventual winner in an all-data mobile solution. George will not be pleased. >g< Hope this helps.
