We give two for the price of one

Now, multiple service providers can share same hardware

CDMA mobiles It was GSM, which took the market by a storm and then came the hype of CDMA mobiles which offered its customers low price services and again took over a large market. Where GSM is know for network coverage & mobility features, CDMA is know for technologically advanced & affordable services.

Recently Vanu Inc., a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based firm (founded by Vanu Bose, son of Bose Corp founder Amar Bose), has come out with an innovative bridging technology. The ‘software-defined radio’ solution can eliminate need for multiple radio infrastructure and provide GSM and CDMA service from same common wireless network via its Radio Access Network (RAN). Pradeep Malhotra of Vanu Inc. says, “This is basically a new option for service providers, it can execute multiple such technology on common hardware platform.” The technology is currently in testing mode in villages of Tamil Nadu and Vanu is also engaged in negotiating with BSNL, Reliance Communications Ltd. and Tata Teleservices Ltd. These firms may leverage the technology to provide GSM or CDMA to users from their existing network. “Network for multiple operators can be shared on same hardware i.e. total sharing. All complexity of 3G can be also remotely upgraded,” Pradeep explains. It can tune automatically to any frequency and run both technologies like any application on an operating system. However, new entrants in GSM will have to invest in separate radio hardware. The solution has been tested in villages of Alaska by General Communication Inc.
