1xEV as a CDMA GSM overlay. JohnG To: 100cfm who wrote (12122) From: Caxton Rhodes Tuesday, Jun 13, 2000 2:03 AM ET Reply # of 12156 Geez Guys- 1xEV is a Q overlay of GSM systems. It ain't no WCDMA. Since the WCDMA camp 1) can't get 3G working in a reasonable amount of time (read "never"), and 2) the WCDMA solution (if they could get it to work) tanks system capacity (i.e. 80% more base stations required and more spectrum), Q is offering the poor unfortunate GSM carriers - a better and more cost effective solution to 3G that doubles GSMs capacity and can give 'em HDR. Sounds to me that 1xEV is in direct compitition to WCDMA and has higher capcacity and earlier deployment. Plus it's compatible with with existing cdma carriers. GSM is Toast! Caxton
