CDMA2000 dominating 3G market with more than 50 Million subscribers
July 15, 2003
The CDMA Development Group (CDG) reported that the CDMA2000 global subscriber
base surpassed 50 million in May 2003 as the CDMA industry continues to
lead in 3G deployments and growth around the world.
CDMA2000 is clearly dominating the 3G market today said the group. There
are 53 commercial networks in 29 countries on six continents and approximately
17 more networks are scheduled for deployment in the second half of 2003.
The number of CDMA2000 subscribers grew by 18 million in the first five
months of 2003, and account for more than 99 percent of the total 3G market.
Carriers around the world are benefiting from the capacity and high-speed
data advantages CDMA2000 provides. KDDI continues to lead in subscriber
growth in Japan, primarily because of the strong customer demand for CDMA2000
services. KDDI is adding an average of 600,000 CDMA2000 subscribers per
month and expects that 90% of its customers will have migrated to its
CDMA2000 network by March 2004.
Asia is the largest market for CDMA2000 with nearly 30 million subscribers,
but the North American market is growing rapidly, claiming over 20 million
users. Latin America leads in number of deployments with 19 commercial
networks in 12 countries throughout the region.
Several TDMA operators, including BellSouth Colombia, BellSouth Guatemala
and Midwest Wireless in the U.S., migrated to CDMA2000 in the last three
months. CDMA2000 offers four times more capacity than TDMA systems, which
is particularly beneficial for Latin American operators who need to upgrade
their networks to meet growing demand for wireless services in their markets.
"CDMA2000 has taken a commanding lead in the global 3G market," said
Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDG. "The CDG expects CDMA2000
to sustain its dominant position as new networks are deployed and carriers
continue to rapidly roll out services."
A number of operators are migrating to CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, the next generation
high-speed data technology capable of delivering rates up to 2.4 Mbps.
Five operators in Asia, North and Latin Americas have already deployed
it commercially and four more, including Verizon and KDDI, will launch
by the end of the year. With average data speeds of 300-600 kbps, 1xEV-DO
offers access to the Internet and Intranets at speeds comparable with
any fixed-line broadband solution, such as cable and DSL. In South Korea,
SK Telecom announced its latest 1xEV-DO service: real-time video conferencing,
while KTF offers streaming video on demand, including TV broadcasting,
music videos, sport clips and customized content.
