Canada approves CDMA digital standard.ARLINGTON HEIGHTS Arlington Heights, village (1990 pop. 75,460), Cook county, NE Ill., a residential suburb of Chicago; founded 1836, inc. 1887. Its manufactures include machinery, drugs and medical equipment, and metal fabrication. Arlington Park racetrack is there. , Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 11, 1996--The Canadian Department of Industry has adopted Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. ) as an approved telecommunications standard in Canada. The new version of the Standard Radio System Plan (SRSP-503) includes provision for the use of cellular radiotelephone voice and data systems utilizing the CDMA standard at 800 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. . CDMA is a second generation digital technology that uses unique digital codes, instead of separate RF frequencies and channels, to differentiate subscriber's phone conversations. This enables CDMA to use the radio spectrum more efficiently and to provide enhanced voice and call quality compared with traditional systems. "CDMA is fast becoming the world standard for next generation wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. ," said Jack Finlayson, corporate vice president and general manager of Motorola's Pan American Wireless Infrastructure Division. "The decision to include CDMA as an approved standard in Canada will help ensure that Canadian subscribers will have access to volume-manufactured, low cost CDMA handsets from a wide choice of vendors." Motorola's Cellular Infrastructure Group deployed the world's first commercial CDMA system in 1995 which recently surpassed the 10,000 subscriber mark in Hong Kong Hong Kong (hŏng kŏng), Mandarin Xianggang, special administrative region of China, formerly a British crown colony (2005 est. pop. 6,899,000), land area 422 sq mi (1,092 sq km), adjacent to Guangdong prov. . To date, CIG CIG Ceiling (height above ground level to base of clouds) CIG Conference Intergouvernementale (French: Intergovermental Conference) CIG Conservation Innovation Grants (USDA NRCS) has won contracts to deploy CDMA equipment in more than two dozen markets worldwide. Motorola is one of the world's leading providers of wireless communications, semiconductors, and advanced electronic systems and services. Motorola's 1995 sales were $27 billion.
