CDMA stands for Code-Division Multiple Access. Instead of using TDMA (time division multiple access), it features spread-spectrum techniques. CDMA is a digital innovation for cellular technology, which is not limited only to a specific frequency per user but has access to all available spectrums.

CDMA was developed as a military technology by English Allies during World War II. The Germans had a hard time picking up signals as the English Allies used transmission over various frequencies. Now that it is used for cellular technology, Qualcomm issues patents and licenses for CDMA.

Benefits of Using CDMA

CDMA also supports the 3G technology, as a common platform used to provide better services. Here’s a list of its other advantages:

• improved capacity for data and voice communications, which enables more subscribers to connect any time
• takes up less power but still covers larger areas using bigger cell size
• enables calls even with lower signal levels
• empowers higher data rates using an established path
