Technology - Mobile - 6 - 3G CDMA2000 & Fixed-Mobile Convergence
In this report we discuss IMT-MC Multi Carrier cdma2000 in its 1X-EV, 1X-EV-DO, 1X-EV-DV and 3X versions, and some technical characteristics of handsets: their need for duplexers and their interference with hearing aids and other audio systems. We also discuss Fixed-Mobile Convergence and the chances such a technology will be developed and deployed successfully against the tide of Fixed-Mobile Substitution.
