The launch of Xohm by Sprint is likely to prompt rapid move from CDMA operators.
CDMA Development Group (CDG) says CDMA service providers will be in the lead in OFDM-based LTE and Mobile WiMAX.
Verizon, SK Telecom, KTF, KDDI and China Telecom already made it clear that they would choose LTE. These operators will rely on CDMA2000 to provide coverage and seamless roaming in the surrounding areas and in international markets, according to CDG.
CDG also says CDMA operators are well-positioned to build on the wireless data business models they have developed for CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, and their 3G voice, broadband and broadcast data services will serve as their core revenue generators as they deploy next-generation networks.
Presently, cdma2000 1x EV-DO service is provided by 123 operators in 62 nations and the number of subscribers passed one million worldwide, CDG reports.
Looks like WiMAX technology is getting a lot of traction this days. TelegeoGraphy just came up with a report showing a great growth for WiMAX all over the world, especially in India.
