No. the present CDMA system transmits packets already at 14.4k as a standard. A set of software converts this to regular modem type service using standard modems to send it back out over the present analog system, or packet routers (like the 3COM ones) into the internet world as true packet. this is IS-99 for the first type and IS-657 for the second. Later all rolled into a single updated standard, IS-707. IS-99 service is exactly like your present dial up modem service today including the same AT type modem commands. The present CDMA ssytem is just rolling out all the data and is already transmitting in a few sites (past news of demo in Airtouch, Salt Lake.). There is also a standard of adding up to 8 of these 14.4 channels together into a single data call to get up to 115k bps both ways. This will use 8 data calls in parallel. the next genration one they are showing today at PCS98 is a waveform compatible overlay system which can do around 600k bps to the user and around 200k bps back from the user.
