North American to Adopt CDMA says siemens

[Mod]

Siemens believes North American telecom operators could shift to the GSM mobile standard from the rival CDMA system, a senior company executive.

CDMA technology was invented by Qualcomm and the company delivers virtually all chips needed in CDMA networks and mobile phones used by some 500 million consumers mostly in the Americas and Asia.

Among the markets the company is active in is China, which he said could issue 3G licenses in several stages, starting early next year. China is expected to spend more than $10 billion to set up its 3G networks after licenses are awarded, widely expected to be in the first half of 2006.
