Delivering Voice and Data: Comparing CDMA2000 and GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS

Overview Regardless of the wireless technology used, the same rule applies: The more subscribers, minutes and megabytes that a cell site can handle, the lower the operator's cost to deliver those services. Lower overhead costs in turn determine the operator's ability to price voice and data services competitively and still turn a profit. This white paper uses simulations to discuss how the evolution of the CDMA2000 and GSM families of technologies will affect their voice and data performance, including their spectral efficiency when delivering those services. While different technologies have distinct evolution strategies and different constraints, voice and data capacity will significantly improve with technology advancements in the coming years.

3G: Boldly going where no one should have gone in the first place?

For instance, the GSM network, supported by EDGE (enhanced data rates for global evolution) and GPRS (general packet radio service), can now increase the bandwidth available. Juha Heinanen, technology director at the Swedish operator Telia, deemed...

The Ovum view: Going over the Edge

Edge stands for Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution. In the GSM pathway and indeed in the TDMA route - there's a little box marked 'Edge' sitting uncomfortably between the 2.5G blocks and the 3G blocks.
