HONG KONG-The CDMA Development Group announced cdmaOne technology has gained significant momentum in Japan as a result of the recent cdmaOne nationwide service launch by DDI Corp. and IDO Corp.
Six new cdmaOne handsets also were launched to complement the service expansion.
“The CDG believes that DDI’s and IDO’s cdmaOne service offerings give both companies a competitive advantage, especially as the technically savvy Asia Pacific region prepares to offer third-generation services such as high-speed data capabilities and Internet access,” said Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDG.
Operators in Japan already have implemented 14.4-kilobits-per-second data and will introduce 64-kbps packet data by the end of the year, said the CDG.
