The Road Goes on Forever
ADVANTAGES OF CDMA
OVER FDMA AND TDMA
1. Increased User Capacity
2. Increased User Resources (bandwidth on demand, broadband capabilities)
3. Security
4. Decrease in Dropped Calls (soft capacity, soft handoffs)
APPLICATIONS
Because of its inherent advantages over TDMA and FDMA (user capacity, soft handoffs,
security, increased user resources etc.), CDMA clearly emerges as the winner
in the battle over wireless services. CDMA allows for greater development and
use of broadband devices such as GPS units, PDA's, wireless laptop modems, Internet
capable cell phones, and other innovative devices.
Also, as shown here, subscriber
growth for CDMA systems is accelerating at an explosive rate, demonstrating
the shift in the wireless market from other protocols to CDMA.
