Jun 5, 2002, 12:15 PM by (staff)
The CDMA Development Group (CDG) yesterday reported that CDMA2000 1xEV-DV (data and voice) has been approved by both the Third Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) for publication, and has been submitted to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for formal approval as an IMT-2000 3G global standard. As specified by the 3GPP2, CDMA2000 1xEV-DV will provide integrated voice with simultaneous high-speed packet data services at speeds of up to 4.8 Mbps. CDMA2000 1xEV-DV is backward compatible with CDMA and CDMA2000 1X (used by Verizon Wireless and Sprint PCS). Sprint PCS plans to offer 1xEV-DV, tentatively in 2004.
