CHESTERFIELD, Mo.-A new research report says cdma2000 1x EV-DO enables operators to launch profitable multimedia services as well avoiding the “false dilemma” of charging data users for equivalent voice resources consumed.
In a 77-page report titled “Cdma2000 1xEV-DO Opportunities, Challenges and Competitive Strategies,” Datacomm Research Company said operators can develop mobile data as an independent business with dedicated bandwidth.
“Our research shows the combination of cdma2000 1x and EV-DO consistently delivers a 3G wireless experience with services such as music and video on demand,” said Ira Brodsky, president of Datacomm Research and principal author of the report. “But operators must bite the bullet and deploy EV-DO now to fully capitalize on its time-to-market, cost and performance advantages.”
