PFudster, SK telecom of Korea set to help Unicom set up their CDMA network in a hurry. Saturday March 3, 10:51 pm Eastern Time SK Tel agrees to offer CDMA tech to China Unicom SEOUL, March 4 (Reuters) - South Korea's top cellular phone operator SK Telecom said on Sunday it had signed an agreement to provide China Unicom with code division multiple access (CDMA) technology and to co-operate in Internet-related services. ``Both companies will work together to set up the CDMA service networks of China Unicom at an earlier time and to upgrade the system,'' SK Telecom said in a statement. CDMA is a digital wireless standard that allows more phone calls and data to be crammed into a given frequency spectrum. SK Telecom would provide China Unicom, the second largest mobile company in China, with the expertise and technology to establish CDMA networks, spokesman Paik Chang-don said. He said SK Telecom was the first telecoms company in the world to start a CDMA-based mobile service in 1996. U.S. company Qualcomm (NasdaqNM:QCOM - news) first developed the original technology and chips. biz.yahoo.com
