Qualcomm, Nortel Connect on Breakthrough 3G Call dailynews.yahoo.com Excerpts: This means mobile IP enables wireless users to access Web and data services without interruption while moving between buildings and networks, using wireless handhelds, laptops and appliances. [ snip ] The demonstration successfully completed Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN) traffic transmission between "home" and "foreign" networks, delivering the interoperability required by 3G handsets as outlined in the IS-835 standard, the companies reported. >>>Successful Hand-Off Capability for Seamless Packet Data Call Transfer Across 3G Packet Networks Could someone please explain what the significance of this is in simple, non-technical terms? TIA <<< It means that just as a voice call is handed off seamlessly from cell to cell as you move, an always on IP ( internet protocol ) session can now be handed off as you move. Note that Mobile IP capability is supported by QCT's MSM5105, MSM5100 and subsequent CDMA2000 1X chipsets and system software so early 1X devices based on the MSM5000 such as the GTRAN modem, approved today by the FCC, probably won't do this.
