The pace of innovation in cellular technology continues unabated. Operators have deployed CDMA2000 1x networks around the world. The next step in the evolution of CDMA2000 is 1xEV-DO (1x evolution data optimized) which provides a high-speed data channel with peak data rates of 2.4 Mbps, and typical throughputs of 300 to 500 Kbps. According to the CDMA Development Group, there are ten 1xEV-DO commercial networks across Asia, the Americas and Europe and three more planned to be deployed in the next year. In the US, Verizon Wireless offers CDMA2000 1xEV-DO in San Diego and Washington DC. Beyond 1xEV-DO, 1xEV-DV (1x evolution data and voice) allows both voice and high-speed data on the same radio channel.
The purpose of this meeting and workshop is to explore the true capabilities of this technology, its likely deployment, supported applications, and standing relative to competing technologies.
Some specific questions we intend to address include:
- How does 1xEV technology work?
- What type of performance can users expect under what circumstances?
- How does 1xEV technology compare with competing technologies?
- How do 1xEV-DO and 1xEV-DV differ in capability, maturity and deployment status?
- What are the best applications for 1xEV-DO?
- What are the deployment plans for 1xEV-DO and 1xEV-DV?
- How might 1xEV networks co-exist with wireless hotspots?
- What types of devices will be available?
- What interfaces will devices use?
- What options exist to integrate 1xEV devices with computing platforms?
February 11, Workshop. 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Hands on opportunity for participants to use and test with the 1xEV-DO network.
