Fixed CDMA Phone From Romanian Operator

The Romanian based CDMA operator, Zapp Mobile has launched a "fixed line" service that offers a conventional landline style handset, while relying on the company's CDMA network for connectivity. The service is available with the Z1110 phone, the first fixed wireless terminal from Zapp. Z1110 has a built-in high-speed modem (153.6 kbps) and can be connected to a computer via a USB cable for Internet access, browsing and data transfers.

Zapp FixTel subscribers who also have a mobile phone from Zapp get a single bill for all Zapp services. Also, depending on their time within the Zapp networks, subscribers benefit from loyalty bonuses. Zapp FixTel is operational immediately after the signing of the contract and involves no installation costs.

Zapp operates a CDMA450 network and its largest investor in Qualcomm. The Mobile World notes that the company had 348,000 subscribers at the end of Q3 last year - representing just under 3% of the market."
