<br />DRAFT 2.0 <br />04/30/97 <br /> <br />Khursheed Khan <br />51. Paul, Minnesota <br /> <br />of the network to meet increased demand in the near future can be instituted <br />fairly easily. <br /> <br />. Unmatched privacy - <br />CDMA networks by using digital format, wide-band signaling, and <br />address specific traffic protection provide an unmatched combination of <br />privacy features. <br /> <br />. Requirement for fewer cell sites - <br />CDMA base stations / cell sites as well as the handsets/portables transmit <br />at much lower power levels as compared to conventional cellular/paging <br />systems. Consequently this ensures extended battery life (leading to a <br />lightweight handset) and shorter pole heights for antenna placement. <br />However, since CDMA has a superior link-budget, with all things being <br />equal, fewer sites are required as compared to a traditional cellular system. <br /> <br />. Competitive pricing - <br />Capacity improvements achieved via using the CDMA technology allows <br />service with fewer cell sites than analog/TDMA systems which reduces <br />installation-equipment-operating costs. This directly influences the <br />competitive pricing of services offered to the general public. <br /> <br />7 <br />
