Software Upgrade for CDMA Service Node to High Speed Data

CommWorks has said that its Total Control 1000 Packet Data Service Node (PDSN) can now be upgraded to CDMA 1xEV-DO (1x Evolution-Data Optimized) with a simple software upgrade. No new hardware is required. The Total Control 1000 PDSN exchanges packets with the mobile station over the radio network, and with Internet Protocol (IP) networks. To perform these functions, the Total Control 1000 PDSN interfaces with the radio network node, also called a packet control function (PCF); with a RADIUS AAA server (used for user authentication and session accounting); and with home agents for Mobile IP applications.

1xEV-DO (1x Evolution-Data Optimized) is designed to achieve peak data rates of 2.4 megabits per second within the same 1.25MHz spectrum used in today's CDMA networks.'"
