"VDMA (still don't get the connection to the acronym)" Dave, I think the real connection is to Qualcomm's stock price, ie "CDMA". But I think they missed the mark. They should have combined the best of two hot sectors and a better name would have been, "VDMA.com" Then they would have gotten about double the amount of posts. MikeM(From Florida)

PS Dave I've just thought of a way to solve the battery problem. For mass deployment of repeaters, the company just offers free phones for those who agree to wrap aluminum foil around a pair of rabbit ears and place it on their front lawns. They plug this into the 120v socket, and bingo! You have a repeater station. Where can I apply for a patent?

Regarding Patents... worldwide-wireless.com "We foresaw the coming era several years ago and have filed patents for what we believe are the major design underpinnings of the new era. The VDMA units will be in production within nine months. A scaled-down version will be available by year's end." I guess filed is the key word here. Bill Clinton would respond, "well, that depends on what you mean by filed." Lets put this one to rest. VDMA, has nothing to do with CDMA! The product is neither "next generation" or even "this generation". The development of this "next generation" mobile or cellular phone has been referred to as the (1) "VDMA" - Virtual Division Multiple Access -, "SMART" - Specialized Mobile Autonomous Radio Transmitting - and (3) Super-PCS Phone - Personal Communication Services. For the sake of consistency, the WWW phone will be referred to as the SMART Phone. The U.S. standard for digital mobile phone service was developed by Qualcom in the early 1990's. It is commonly referred to as CDMA or Code Division Multiple Access. The generic reference is PCS. Whether the wireless or cellular phone uses analog or digital technology, the costs for cell sites averages $500,000 each 6 mile x 6 mile. This infrastructure cost includes the tower, microwave dishes (transmitter/receiver), etc. While, we at WWWC have completed our first major undertaking of the "SMART" - System for Mobile Autonomous Radio Tracking - program: the design is done for the microchip for the basic SMART handset. It needs only to be committed to silicon to become the nucleus of the next generation of CDMA handsets. CDMA is now recognized as by the far the most efficient and highest quality method of signal propagation ever devised, and WWWC laboratories has developed what may be the world's leading CDMA system as a subset of the SMART/VDMA handsets. When we selected the CDMA circuit as the core design of our revolutionary } SMART/VDMA cell phone system, we did so because we needed the quality, spectral efficiency and power economy that only CDMA could provide. We did not expect the superior CDMA features would totally swamp the burgeoning handset industry worldwide and make it a product in sweeping universal demand, as has happened. Thus, now that we are ready to commit our CDMA circuit to silicon, we are revising our initial plan to include fine microchips as soon as possible for our customers' production. Although chips alone could be sold, we are quite capable of preparing a complete engineering package for the handset.
