LaForge’s comments come at a critical time; momentum continues to grow behind Long Term Evolution (LTE) and WiMAX technologies, leaving some to question whether CDMA will continue to play a role in the market’s evolution.

Indeed, a number of the world’s major wireless carriers have announced or are rumored to be planning to move from the CDMA evolution path in favor of LTE. Further, industry forecasters such as Dell’Oro Group are predicting steady declines in the CDMA market over the coming years.

In an exclusive interview with RCR Wireless News, LaForge outlines the role of CDMA in the wireless market, as well as the current and future goals of the CDMA Development Group.
