Quote from "The GSM-CDMA Economic Study Executive summary", by Andersen Consulting, Detecon, Telemate Mobile Consultants __ " in the coverage-driven situation, a "GSM-CDMA" solution brings relatively minor cost benefits (approximately 10% for 13kb/s and 30% for 8kb/s for the total CapEx +OpEX) as compared to a "GSM" solution over the 2000 - 2005 period." Note other items in the report say : In capacity-driven situation a GSM-CDMA solution yields substantial cost savings when compared to the proposed GSM solutions. and in "greenfield" network scenario, the "GSM-CDMA" solution brings significant spectrum savings. Sorry, Caxton. I rather doubt that GSM will be burnt toast for well into the next century. CDMA Overlays will in fact, enable GSM to continue on. Mardy.

Pulsing with promise New digital technology likely to revolutionize how we live By Kevin Maney, USA TODAY HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - A little-known company in this city of rocket scientists is about to explode onto the scene with an invention that might be as important as the transistor or electric light bulb. The company is Time Domain. Its breakthrough is the work of Larry Fullerton, a lone inventor who harks back to the era of Thomas Edison. His invention is a way to transmit information wirelessly, but not using radio waves. Instead, it uses pulses of radio energy, fired out at 10 million to 40 million pulses a second. The potential impact is astounding. If the technology lives up to its promise, it would be like the leap from vacuum tubes to the transistor or from oil lamps to light bulbs, touching every home and workplace. Wireless communicators could get down to the size of a quarter. Radar could become cheap and commonplace. A home radar system could be used for security, detecting movement inside and distinguishing a cat from a man. Already a reality is hand-held radar that police can use to see inside a room before bursting in. The pulse technology, sometimes also called ultra-wide band (UWB), could launch whole new industries and reorder several existing ones in coming decades. "This is a technology that's as radical as anything that's come up in recent years," says Paul Turner, a partner at Price Waterhouse Coopers who has studied Time Domain and advised the upstart company. Others agree. Representatives from major technology companies have trooped to Huntsville the past few months. "If they can really pull it off in volume, it can be quite huge," says IBM Vice President Ron Soicher, who admits to getting goose bumps when he realized the potential. usatoday.com
