Nortel said yesterday (3/4) that tests conducted at its wireless solutions laboratories in Ontario, Canada, showed Metro Cell, the company's CDMA base station, achieving a coverage radius of up to 200 kilometers at 800 MHz. This translates, according to Nortel, into improvements of 10 times the range typically available and of up to five times the range demonstrated in previous extended coverage trials. This really sounds spectacular. Is this cell on top of Empire State Bldg, a 5,000 ft tower? And how about GSM, what sort of coverage are they getting, anyone know? I wonder to what extent CDMA is really only at the beginning of the learning curve? And GSM? BTW...I've got a whole screen full of techstocks, Q is the only one at a new high...:-)
