Cellular Business in the 3G Era

Understandably, the use of 1xEV-DP technology can bring peak performance for a network, which can reach 2.4 Mbps or 2,400 kbps, while the speed of GSM/GPRS technology through EDGE is only 160 kbps. On the other hand, the choice of CDMA2000, which is indeed the G3 standard, obviously shows what the operators in Indonesia will do.  

Among other things, there will be many operators that will provide multimedia services for streaming and downloading: subscribers, for example, can order a recording of a soccer match between Chelsea and Manchester United that a television station aired the night before. Subscribers will also been pampered with various games that can be played simultaneously by several users.  

Likewise, the Internet and the traffic of data packages will obviously be facilitated. Retail business services such as mini ads are expected to dominate the CDMA-based cellular services in future. And in keeping with the ITU requirements, the G3 technology, including the CDMA2000 1x, must also be affordable to every subscriber.  

So far, the CDMA technology has been able to meet increasingly more complex needs for telecommunication technologies such as an improved voice quality, the speed of data transfer, the Internet access and multi-media features. The question is whether operators are ready to meet the needs of their subscribers, particularly with respect to making available adequate services and features. This is the right time for CDMA operators to draw up their business strategy. (B. Gunawan)
