1xEV-DO
Single Carrier (1X) EVolution – Data Only. A high-speed standard for cellular
data communications.
Supports Internet connections with data rates up to 3.1 Mbps (downlink from the
network) and 1.8 Mbps (uplink to the network). Average data rates are roughly: for
Rev. A: 600 1300 kbps (downlink from the network) and 300 400 kbps (uplink to
the network); for Rev. 0: 400 700 kbps (downlink from the network) and 40 80
kbps (uplink to the network). Actual speed depends on the network conditions.

cellular
data communications.
Supports Internet connections with data rates up to 153 kbps (simultaneously in
each direction—downlink and uplink). Actual speed depends on the network
conditions. Compare to

CDMA
Code Division Multiple Access.
A wideband spread spectrum technique used in digital cellular, personal
communications services, and other wireless networks. Wide channels (1.25
MHz) are obtained through spread spectrum transmissions, thus allowing many
active users to share the same channel. Each user is assigned a unique digital
code, which differentiates the individual conversations on the same channel.
