Code division multiple access (CDMA) - a mobile 3G technology that uses a digital radio channel access method to send voice and data - is being overshadowed by competing standards, but continues to exhibit solid growth.
That is according to ABI Research, which claimed that CDMA operators continue to upgrade their networks to provide capacity for a greater number of bandwidth-intensive data services while the spotlight is on standards such as HSPA (high speed packet access) and LTE (long term evolution).
Khor Hwai Lin, analyst at the company, explained that worldwide subscriber numbers for Evdo Rev A, an evolution of CDMA2000, increased eightfold during the 12 months to the end of June 2008.
"The increased support for LTE from incumbent CDMA operators does not imply the imminent death of Evdo Rev A and B, because LTE is addressing different market needs compared to 3G," she added.
The analyst forecast that Evdo Rev A subscribers will exceed 54 million by 2013, while Rev B subscribers will increase to 25 million. <br/>
