Here are the advantages and disadvantages of CDMA:
The Advantages of CDMA:
- Enable integration of voice, data and video. Spread-spectrum and power-control functions that increase the capacity of CDMA call bandwidth is sufficient for a variety of multimedia data services, and the soft hand-off scheme ensures no data loss.
- Number of subscribers in a cell may access the frequency spectrum bands together for a particular encoding technique. Considered more advanced than CDMA digital cellular system that already exists. FSN is able to provide a more natural sound than the perfect digital cellular systems that already exist.
- Have very low power output that is 0.2 watts (compared to the GSM system) that use 1.5 to 3 watts, making batteries CDMA system more durable. Requires lower transmit power, so cell phone talk time may be longer.
