Fifty of the 96 operators have reported 3G CDMA
subscriber totals at some point. Nineteen of
those operators have updated their 3G CDMA
subscriber totals for May 2004. Thirty-two
operators have yet to report 3G CDMA subscriber

cdma450

• cdma450 refers to cdma2000 technology deployed
  in the 450 MHz spectrum
• Key benefits
• All the advantages of third-generation CDMA
  capabilities
• PLUS Reduction in deployment costs due to
  frequency allocation, i.e., less cell sites for
  same geographic area

6
Why deploy at 450 MHz?

• RF propagation advantage at 450 MHz results in
  fewer cell sites for a cellular network
• Therefore, deploying at 450 MHz is more
  cost-effective than deploying at higher
  frequencies.
• When regulators allocate 450 MHz spectrum for
  cellular
• New operators can enter the market
• An existing operator that is running out of
  capacity on its existing networks can deploy
  additional networks in the 450 MHz band
• Furthermore, if the frequency range allocated
  matches the 450 MHz band allocations elsewhere
  e.g., Eastern Europe and Russia
• Operators can benefit from the economies of scale
  afforded by being part of the larger cdma450
  community

7
Applicable Standards

• cdma450 is part of TIA Interim Standard IS 2000
• Band Class 5
• 1x EV-DO is an evolution of IS 2000 and also

• cdma450 is the basis for the European CDMA-PAMR
  standard
• System for Public Safety using cdma2000 in the
  410-430, 450-470 and 870-876/915-921 MHz bands,
  which are allocated to PAMR in Europe

Inclusion
http//www.anatel.gov.br/Universalizacao/inclusao_
digital.asp As a compliment to the public
consultations of the regulation on Digital
Communications Services, ANATELs Superintendency
of Universal Services (SUN) is coordinating a
field trial on Digital Communications
Services. The experiment involves various
companies working together and utilizing their
distinctive specialties including terminal
equipment, wireless networks, routers, management
service billing and tariff platforms, free
software and applications highlighting the theme
of digital inclusion. The demonstration is often
conducted at Anatels headquarters in Brasilia
and in numerous places in and outside of the
city. ANATEL will publish a public consultation
on the 450 MHz band (ANATEL Press Bulletin, June
2, 2004)

(Fiscal Years, ending in March)
KDDI net profit more than quadrupled in only 6
months after launching 1X services KDDI added
714K 1X subs in Q403, ending with more than
11.8M cumulative 1X subs KDDI is posted a larger
net increase in mobile phone subs than NTT DoCoMo
in 2003 KDDI raised its FY2004 ARPU estimate from
69.33 to 70.47
KDDI predicted its profit for the year ending
March 2004 would rise by more than 65 to US857
million. KDDI's share price is up by about 70
in 2003, far outpacing its rivals.
