GSM Vs CDMA
Aug 19, 2010 at 11:38 pm in GSM by LT contributor
In technology circles, it has long been known that CDMA beats the pants off GSM. It is, to state it in no uncertain terms, the technology of the future. Event 3G GSM networks will use CDMA based technologies.
Why CDMA is best?
- Its Faster.
- Its more secure.
- Connection on a CDMA network will never get dropped when moving from cell to cell.
- CDMA base-station covers a larger area.
Why GSM is preferred?
CDMA standard is patented by Qualcomm. Anyone implementing a CDMA network or manufacturing a CDMA handset has to pay a royalty to Qualcomm. So, all the Telecom companies preferring GSM. This is not only the reason there are so many benefit present in reality for the operator and the user. The purpose of publishing the GSM standard was to have a world standard for mobile communications, so that all mobile user could roam free across the world without needing to bother about changing the handset.
The Indian scenario is quite the same. When mobile telephony came to India, GSM was our choice. CDMA came in only in the beginning of 2003, but has seen huge growth since then. Nonetheless, GSM still remains the preferred network for most of the India’s subscribers.
Both have their good qualities and bad qualities. GSM has some limitations where call quality is concerned, but GSM can be easily implemented and easily integrated into existing technology. Whereas, CDMA is little difficult to implement. By my estimation, GSM has an upper hand. So, the answer to the question, “GSM vs CDMA which is better?” is GSM. More on:
Mobile communication has had a huge impact on modern day industry. GSM and CDMA technologies have unleashed mobile communication worldwide, and the technological competition between GSM vs CDMA has resulted in the improvement of services for the user.
