Here's an interesting document outlining the future path of CDMA. A little biased IMHO (it was written for the CDMA development forum) but explains in detail the future enhancements that we will see.

EVDO Rev B. - bring it on! UMTS/HSDPA is going to have a hard time keeping up with that puppy.

If you read future plans for WCDMA and CDMA both seem to actually be a lot more similair in the future than what they are now which isn't surprising since WCDMA doesn't have CDMA in it for nothing! :-)

For CDMA2000 the future is almost certainly an IP based mobile network and future specs have QoS support as well.

What I was looking for in that paper was video telephony on CDMA. Most of the technical jargon went way over my head but it appears that CDMA REV A should see the start of that technology to appear.

The other interesting thing was the speed in which CDMA can be upgraded - simplistically it sounds as easy as upgrading a video card in a computer (but I think it would be a tad more difficult than that)

VOIP info was also interesting - not sure if that would be any benefit to me personally but I can see it becoming common place in the future to have one device that does virtually everything, anywhere.

Thanks sbiddle for this info.

The potential for IP telephony over CDMA is quite exciting, especially since Telecom's voice will be 100% IP over the coming years. Suddenly the whole concept of two phones and two phone numbers is gone.
