The VX10 phone has been designed to operate on the
latest digital mobile communication technology, Code
Division Multiple Access (CDMA). This CDMA digital
technology has greatly enhanced voice clarity and can
provide a variety of advanced features. Currently, CDMA
mobile communication technology has been commercially
used in Cellular and Personal Communication Service
(PCS).
The difference between them is operating frequency
spectrum. Cellular uses 800Mhz and PCS uses 1.9Ghz.
The VX10 operates on both frequencies, this is
called a dual-band phone. Also, the VX10 works on
Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS). We call it a tri-
mode phone. If one of the Cellular, PCS or AMPS base
stations is located nearby, call fail rate of a tri-mode
phone is less than a dual-mode phone or a single-mode
phone.
CDMA technology adopts DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum). DSSS enables the phone to keep
communication from being crossed and to use one
frequency channel by multiple users in the same specific
area, resulting in a 10 fold increase in capacity when
compared with the analog mode currently used.
Soft/Softer Handoff, Hard Handoff, and Dynamic RF
power Control technologies are combined into this phone
to reduce call interruptions.

The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks consist of MSO
(Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base Station Controller),
BTS (Base station Transmission System), and MS
(Mobile Station). The following table lists some major
CDMA Standards.

1xRTT system receives subscribers in wireless section
twice as much as IS-95. Its battery life is twice as long as
IS-95. High-speed data transmission is also possible.
