AIRTOUCH REPORTS CDMA IS COMING

SAN FRANCISCO-AirTouch Communications said it will announce in May plans to launch Code Division Multiple Access service on a limited basis to some existing customers.

The cellular operator built out a CDMA system in the Los Angeles area last year and hoped to launch commercial service late last summer.

AirTouch has been tinkering with the new technology for the last six months, saying it isn’t performing at a level acceptable to the intense business customers AirTouch hopes to migrate over first.
