>I don't think CDMA will be used for this. Qualcomm is big into CDMA but it is not the only area of expertise in this company. Omnitracs is not CDMA (at least on one link). The expertise at Qualcomm would probably best be summed up as really really good and efficient digital transmission of information. The Cinema effort is more about data compression and overall quality of the reconstructed images and projectors then it is about how you get the info into digits.< I think CDMA would fit very well for the digital transmission of motion picture. Think about it, the amount of data would be enormous, no matter how efficient the compression. This would entail the use of more than one frequency or a very long download time, hence the most efficient transmission will use CDMA over a bandwidth wide enough to allow the download to be completed in a reasonable length of time. Of course, I am not a RF engineer so what do I know?
