CDMAonline - A Space 2000 Project - About Us

Info@cdmaonline.com

Community and Training Resource for CDMA Professionals

Dr. Ernest Simo , and his team of Space 2000 professionals, announces the launch of CDMAonline.com, a meeting and virtual working place for CDMA professionals from around the world. CDMAonline.com is designed to support and supplement the live, instructor led, seminar training provided by Space 2000 since 1987 on a worldwide basis.

In addition to the IS-95 Implementation, Call Processing, CDMA Performance Evaluation and CDMA Optimization seminars, Space2000 has recently developed a new seminar series on 3G. Our emphasis here is twofold: 1- Compare and contrast the various 3G candidates and 2-Present and discuss "Migration Strategies" from current 2G systems (IS-95, IS-136 and GSM) to proposed 3G environments (IS-2000, WCDMA, UTRA).

The driving force behind the development of CDMAonline.com is Dr. Ernest Simo, a 20-year veteran of communications technology and renowned trainer and educator in the fields of Satellite Communications, CDMA Technology and Wideband Wireless Systems. <
