Wrong way around. CDMA typically has about 3 times the capacity of GSM for the same amount of bandwidth, more when using fixed wireless terminals to connect to the network. Better voice quality too, and none of that annoying electronic noise like using your GSM phone near powered up speakers... Doesn't happen on CDMA Also has other nifty stuff like background noice cancellation, and soft handoffs between cells (one phone call can use two or more different cells, helps with travelling between cells) as opposed to hard handoffs with GSM (make before a break), fewer call dropouts. Better technology, not nearly as good implementation (I hate the handsets, no international roaming to speak of, and the carriers here for some reason don't care too much for SMS) On Tue, 17 Apr 2001 06:51:54 GMT, "gcgube" <calcalcal@doramail.com> wrote: >I heard that CDMA's voice bandwidth is not as good as GSM. but I am not >sure though.
