CDMA 2000 1X is the latest version of CDMA technology and provides many performance advantages over other technologies. First, it provides up to twice the capacity of earlier CDMA systems (with even bigger gains over TDMA and GSM), helping to accommodate the continuing growth of voice services as well as new wireless Internet services. Second, it provides peak data rates of up to 153 kbps (and up to 2 Mbps in the future), without sacrificing voice capacity for data capabilities. Also a major advance is much enhanced security.
CDMA stands for Code Division Multiple Access, a digital technology that uses digital encoding "spread spectrum" radio frequency (RF) techniques, thus providing much better and more cost effective voice quality, privacy, system capacity, and flexibility than other wireless technologies.
Also the CDMA network, as a packet data network versus today’s switched networks, provides greater data speeds and increased capacity for voice and data.
TDMA stands for Time division multiple access which is a digital transmission technology that allows a number of users to access a single radio-frequency (RF) channel without interference by allocating unique time slots to each user within each channel. The TDMA digital transmission scheme multiplexes three signals over a single channel. The current TDMA standard for cellular divides a single channel into six time slots, with each signal using two slots, providing a 3 to 1 gain in capacity over advanced mobile-phone service (AMPS). Each caller is assigned a specific time slot for transmission.
