CDMA2000 at 450 MHz Opens New Market Opportunities for CDMA Industry

In the last two years, CDMA2000has established itself as a major player in the 450 MHz bandmarket and interest from regulators and operators around the world is increasing.CDMA450 offers a solution for multiple markets, including evolution of existing NMT-450 analogsystems to IMT-2000 and universal access to voice and broadband services, especially indeveloping countries.

Advantages of CDMA450 derive from the spectral efficiency and high-speed data capabilities ofCDMA2000 and the expanded coverage afforded by a lower frequency band, which translate to3G services and low deployment cost.

CDMA450 was first commercially deployed by Telemobil in Romania over two years ago.Today, there are seven commercial networks and two trials. Eight operators expect to launch in2004.

Multiple infrastructure and device solutions for CDMA450 are commercially available: manyleading equipment vendors offer network equipment for both CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO at450 MHz, and ten handset manufacturers offer phones and data cards.
