I don't think so. While "B-CDMA" would make you think of QCOM, there are a varietyy of rip-offs to their proprietary technology, CDMA. Q is coming out (is out?) with cdmaOne and later cdma2000 as the only legit WLL technology. Anything else with "CDMA" in it is an attempt to get out of paying Q the royalties that they are so justly due.
BTW, is you've got a week to kill, go to the Q thread and read up on it - the info over there is awesome.

Whoops! Better amend that. "Only legit WLL technology", I meant of course, based on Code Division Multiple Access. Lots of other legit WLL technologies exist.

No, in fact, QCOM is using some of IDC technology. CDMA is narrow band technology. B-CDMA is wide band. It can not only carry far more concurrent channels, it is far more stable and not subject to the same shadow/fading problems that CDMA has in dense metropolitan areas. Suggest you go to IDC board. Jim Lurgio is the resident guru on that board.
