Mika Since you seem to be more up on WCDMA then most could you take the time to read Chaz's post #929 on the Moderated thread and answer some of his Questions. I'm particularly interested in the answer to who is producing the DOCOMO WCDMA chip and where, and does it have a name or model # or is it just called the WCDMA chip. At least Q has a model # for their WCMA chip and a release date. TIA 100

>>>>WCDMA when the basic fact that it has been tested far more rigorously than cdma2000.<<<< Really? Could you please provide the actual company press releases that indicate this? Bodi

Great News for WCDMA's future: The Japanese Patent Office confirmed the validity of Japanese Patent No. 2763099, the Japanese version of QUALCOMM's first CDMA patent originally filed in the United States in 1986 and granted in Japan in March 1998. The patent, entitled ``Spread Spectrum Multiple Access Communication System Using Satellite or Terrestrial Repeaters,'' claims inventions that are essential to all viable commercial CDMA standards, including the two third-generation (3G) standards, known as W-CDMA and cdma2000, to be deployed in Japan. The Japanese Patent Office's decision came in response to opposition proceedings initiated in 1999 by six companies including Nokia, Ericsson and NTT. The Japanese Patent Office rejected the opponents' challenge and maintained all claims of the patent with minor clarifications proposed by QUALCOMM.
