CDMA Benefits

The CDG states that CDMA systems have seven advantages over other cellular radio transmission techniques. (GSM and IS-136 operators will contest this list.) CDG says benefits are:

1.Capacity increases of 8 to 10 times that of an AMPS analog system and 4 to 5 times that of a GSM system
2.Improved call quality, with better and more consistent sound as compared to AMPS systems
3.Simplified system planning through the use of the same frequency in every sector of every cell
4.Enhanced privacy
5.Improved coverage characteristics, allowing for the possibility of fewer cell sites
6.Increased talk time for portables
7.Bandwidth on demand
