ADVISORY, March 12, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
WHAT: CDMA2000(r) has been a very successful 3G technology,
with 276 operators in 102 countries and territories
serving more than 463 million subscribers. Today it
leads 3G in terms of performance, affordability and
adoption, and will continue to do so well into the
future. With an elegant evolution path to faster and
faster data rates and capacity efficiency, CDMA2000
provides a strong basis from which operators can grow
their core 3G systems.
The technology also provides a strong base from which
to expand to complementary 4G technologies. In fact,
many CDMA operators will be the first to augment their
existing core networks with 4G OFDM-based systems. Much
of this has to do with the remarkable success they have
had with 3G and CDMA in particular.
CDMA systems will continue to offer ubiquitous high
performance mobile broadband and voice services with a
defined evolution path, while OFDM solutions will
augment CDMA2000 capacity by leveraging wider
bandwidths in high-teledensity areas.
The CDMA Development Group (CDG) is offering this
workshop to:
* provide insight into the enhancements to the
CDMA2000 evolution path
* share how LTE will be integrated into CDMA2000
networks, and
* reinforce that CDMA2000 operators can deploy LTE
directly, without having to switch evolution paths
Featuring leading infrastructure vendors Airvana,
Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei, Motorola, Qualcomm and ZTE, the
workshop is targeted at industry analysts, journalists,
operators and vendors.
WHO: The CDMA Development Group is a trade association
formed to foster the worldwide development,
implementation and use of CDMA technologies. The more
than 140 member companies of the CDG include many of
the world's largest wireless carriers and equipment
manufacturers. The primary activities of the CDG
include development of CDMA features and services,
public relations, education and seminars, regulatory
affairs and international support. Currently, there are
more than 500 individuals working within various CDG
subcommittees on CDMA-related matters.
HOW TO ATTEND: The CDMA2000/LTE Workshop is open to all registered
CTIA Wireless 2009 attendees. Due to limited room
capacity, registration for this workshop is required.
