CDMA2000 presents a tremendous opportunity for the region because it offers a practical solution to a large base of cdmaOne operators, as well as for TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) A satellite and cellular phone technology that interleaves multiple digital signals onto a single high-speed channel. For cellular, TDMA triples the capacity of the original analog method (FDMA). operators as they migrate to next-generation services. The Association of Telecommunications Enterprises for the Andean Community is an international organization for cooperation, coordination and consultation, constituted within the framework of the Andean Sub-Regional Accord, with the purpose of assisting in the harmonious development of telecommunications and contributing to the integration process of the Andean Community of Nations.
