Overview of cdma2000 3G Handsets ~20 cdma2000 1X handsets commercially available with over 20 devices to come. Over 1.5 Million subscribers in Korea. US Carriers have started selling 3G handsets. Average wholesale price ~$160 USD with monochrome screen (higher pricing for color). Data speeds up to 153 Kbps in both directions (up & downlink). Builds on global CDMA economies of scale (450 MHz, 800 MHz, 1700 MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz).

What are we to conclude? The world needs a more “economical” 3G solution for rural coverage. Lower frequencies are the key to reducing cost. The 400 MHz range has multiple bands available in many countries. We need your support to have the 400 MHz range recognized by the ITU as an identified 3G band.
