3GPP2 file format was designed for CDMA-based Phones and may have the filename extension .3g2

Apple community

A version of the iPhone 4 using CDMA technology to run on the Verizon Wireless cellular network in the US, long rumored as the "Verizon iPhone" since shortly after the original iPhone on AT&T Mobility was announced, was announced on January 11, 2011.

Base transceiver station

Though the term BTS can be applicable to any of the wireless communication standards, it is generally associated with mobile communication technologies like GSM and CDMA.

The network can be that of any of the wireless communication technologies like GSM, CDMA, wireless local loop, Wi-Fi, WiMAX or other wide area network (WAN) technology.

Cellular frequencies

The SMR 800 MHz band was used exclusively for iDEN technology, however, Sprint Corporation is deploying CDMA and LTE technology on this band.

Circuit Switched Data

With the evolution of CDMA to CDMA2000 and 1xRTT the use of IS-95 CDMA Circuit Switched Data declined in favour of the faster data transmission speeds available with the newer technologies.

Code division multiple access

CDMA is used as the access method in many mobile phone standards such as cdmaOne, CDMA2000 (the 3G evolution of cdmaOne), and WCDMA (the 3G standard used by GSM carriers), which are often referred to as simply CDMA.

Dialog Broadband Networks

The company uses technologies such as CDMA 2000 1x, DECT, E-1 R2/PRI, CorDECT etc., to connect thousands of residential customers and businesses.

Dual mode mobile

These dual mode handsets are compatible with both GSM and CDMA networks and are essentially 2 phones in one device.

GSM frequency bands

As a more recent example the Apple iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S support quad-band GSM at 850/900/1,800/1,900 MHz, quad-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA at 850/900/1,900/2,100 MHz, and dual-band CDMA EV-DO Rev. A at 800/1,900 MHz, for a total of 'six' different frequencies (though at most four in a single mode).

Overall, where the 450 MHz NMT band exists, it either still runs NMT, or its been replaced by CDMA.

HTC Desire HD

IFAST

The SID lets mobile phones that conform to the TIA Cellular or PCS Standard analog, CDMA or TDMA standards recognize when they are in their home system vs. roaming or in another system that can provide them with service.

MC-CDMA

A variant of the mobile communication standard CDMA2000, where three or more pairs of 1.25MHz radio channels are used together so that higher data rates can be achieved.

:subsidiary of Sprint Corporation, Boost Mobile provides prepaid wireless service using Sprint's CDMA, WiMAX, and 4G LTE networks.

Mobile phones on aircraft

The multitude of incompatible mobile phone systems in the United States and some other countries makes the situation more difficult — it is not clear if the onboard repeaters will be compatible with all of the different cell-phone protocols (TDMA, GSM, CDMA, iDen) and their respective providers.

NextWave Wireless

Samsung Galaxy S

The Cricket model (SCH-R915) lacks LTE support, but adds CDMA 1xEV-DO support over AWS Band IV.

Short Message Peer-to-Peer

Because of its support for non-GSM SMS protocols, like UMTS, IS-95 (CDMA), CDMA2000, ANSI-136 (TDMA) and iDEN, the SMPP is the most commonly used protocol for short message exchange outside SS7 networks.

Tbaytel

Tbaytel has domestic roaming agreements with providers Rogers, MTS Allstream, TELUS (CDMA only), Bell (CDMA only), Bell Aliant (CDMA only) and SaskTel (CDMA only).

UAProf

UAProf production for a device is voluntary: for GSM devices, the UAProf is normally produced by the vendor of the device (e.g. Nokia, Samsung, LG) whereas for CDMA / BREW devices it's more common for the UAProf to be produced by the telecommunications company.

UMTS-TDD

TD-CDMA is used to multiplex streams from or to multiple transceivers.

Universal Mobile Telecommunications System

Unlike TD-CDMA (UTRA-TDD 3.84 Mcps High Chip Rate, UTRA-TDD HCR) which complements W-CDMA (UTRA-FDD), it is suitable for both micro and macro cells.

UMTS-TDD's air interfaces that use the TD-CDMA channel access technique are standardized as UTRA-TDD HCR, which uses increments of 5 MHz of spectrum, each slice divided into 10ms frames containing fifteen time slots (1500 per second).

UTRA-TDD HCR

UTRA-TDD HCR, an acronym for UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access(UTRA)-Time Division Duplex(TDD) High Chip Rate(HCR), is a 3GPP standardized channel access method based on a combination of TDMA and CDMA (known as TD-CDMA).
