Cha2, << This is a red letter day for Ericsson to put on its CDMA 2000 hat - especially re: a future path for TDMA. Why? Any ideas? >> Ericsson as you know is King of TDMA, King of Latin America which is predominately TDMA & AMPS, and the strongest prince of infrastructure. IS-136 TDMA for all practical purposes is dead - a victim of itself, the AWS decision to migrate using GSM, and the introduction of GSM 850. Consequently the TDMA carriers are great candidates for a technology "flip" to either the cdma2000 family or the GSM Family. Should a TDMA carrier favor sticking with TDMA and migrating to TDMA-EDGE (and possibly eventually WCDMA) Ericsson has a solution. Should a TDMA carrier favor migrating to GSM-EDGE (and possibly eventually WCDMA) Ericsson has a solution. Should a TDMA carrier favor migrating to the cdma2000 family Ericsson has a solution. Bases covered. That is why they bought Qualcomm's infrastructure division. - Eric -
