frequency. Multiple users occupy the same frequency band. This universal frequency reuse is not fortuitous. On
the contrary, it is crucial to the very high spectral efficiency that is the hallmark of CDMA. Other discussions in
these pages show why this is true.
CDMA is altering the face of cellular and PCS communication by:
l
Dramatically improving the telephone traffic (Erlang) capacity
l
Dramatically improving the voice quality and eliminating the audible effects of multipath fading
l
Reducing the incidence of dropped calls due to handoff failures
l
Providing reliable transport mechanism for data communications, such as facsimile and internet traffic
l
Reducing the number of sites needed to support any given amount of traffic
l
Simplifying site selection
l
Reducing deployment and operating costs because fewer cell sites are needed
l
Reducing average transmitted power
l
Reducing interference to other electronic devices
l
Reducing potential health risks
