What is CDMA2000 1xEV-DO?

CDMA2000 1xEV-DO stands for 1xRTT Evolution Data Only What this means is that it is an evolution from CDMA2000 1X (IS-2000/CDMA2000) networks Where CDMA2000 1X has both data and voice capabilities, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO is data only (without the voice component) CDMA2000 1xEV-DO offers high-speed packet data rates up to 2.45 Mbps where CDMA2000 1X has a maximum data rate of 153.6 Kbps

Introduction to IS-856

The TIA/EIA Engineering Committee TR-45 (Mobile and Personal Communications Systems) has developed a standard called IS-856 as a companion to the already existing IS-2000 standard. These standards are the next generation of wireless standards after the secondgeneration (2G) CDMA standards, known as IS-95. The IS-856 (CDMA2000 1xEV-DO) air interface standard provides high rate packet data services between the access terminal and the access network.
