1xEV-DO Essentials

CDMA operators have completed the upgrade of their wireless networks to CDMA2000, also known as 1x. Enhancements to the 1x systems are needed to offer packet data services at rates greater than 2 Mbps. In addition, operators are anxious to introduce new services such as VoIP and Push-to-Talk. The next step in the 1x network evolution is 1x EVolution for Data Optimized (1xEV-DO). This course provides a complete system view of 1xEV-DO (Rev 0 and Rev A) networks, with an emphasis on features and capabilities/limitations. This course provides an overview of 1xEV-DO technology, data connection setup, deployment strategies, and interworking scenarios between 1xEV-DO and 1x. It also provides a comparative landscape of 1xEV-DO with other wireless networks such as UMTS and WiMAX.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, the student will be able to:
• Specify the motivation for the 1xEV-DO system
• Discuss the status of 1xEV-DO, related standards and key players
• Sketch the 1xEV-DO network architecture and interfaces
• Discuss key features of 1xEV-DO (Rev 0 and Rev A) networks such as data rates, QoS and Security
• List key concepts and operations of the 1xEV-DO air interface
• Devise a strategy for deploying the 1xEV-DO system
• Examine the key differences between 1xEV-DO and competing technologies

Intended Audience

This overview course is primarily intended for a marketing, sales and executive managment audience interested in a conceptual understanding of the architecture, attributes and future of the 1xEV-DO networks.

Suggested Prerequisites

• 1xEV-DO Networks (Rev 0) (eLearning)
• 1xEV-DO Networks (Rev A) (eLearning)
