Telecom Asia is a leading Asian telecommunications magazine. "Telecom Asia's survey is a reflection of the dynamic trend taking place in Asia: CDMA is becoming the region's dominant digital wireless technology," said Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDMA Development Group (CDG). "This award reflects the technology's strong position, spectral efficiency and superior voice and call capacity. We are proud to receive such an award from a prestigious publication like Telecom Asia." Telecom Asia initiated its Reader's Choice Awards in March 1998. The publication surveyed its readership and disqualified respondents who nominated their employers in an effort to maintain the survey's objectivity. The publication says the survey is Asia's "first fair survey of what the industry thinks about itself." Telecom Asia's core readers are the people who approve, finance, plan, design, build and operate Asia's telecommunications infrastructure. In addition, the publication provides unique technical information and industry analysis intended to educate readers about new technologies being developed, and ways of applying existing technologies to the specific nature of the Asian telecom environment. Wireless Asia is the first magazine published in Asia for the telecom professional involved in specifying and purchasing technology and services for wireless networks. It is published by Telecom Asia and is a part of Advanstar Telecom Group. CDG is a nonprofit trade association formed to foster the worldwide development, implementation and use of cdmaOne.
