Why EVDO enabled Smartphones are the Next Big Thing!
The Indian Mobile internet growth story has been nothing short of phenomenal. Smartphones are fast making feature phones obsolete. With smartphones, comes the ubiquitous desire for mobile data, a feature smartphones are almost synonymous with.
As data consumption patterns increased, there came a need for technology that could provide higher browsing and download speeds, wile keeping costs down. GSM users usually go over bundle on their data allowance, and 3G internet top ups don’t come cheap. Users have increasing started to adopt CDMA phones for data usage. So why is data on CDMA phones faster and more reliable? the answer is EVDO Technology.
EVDO is the abbreviation for 3rd Generation Evolution-Date Optimized, which is a high-speed network protocol used for wireless data communications, primarily Internet access. It is the 3G wireless technology for CDMA phones that offers super fast broadband data speeds to support applications such as video downloads, faster web browsing and large file transfers. Wireless communication has become essential to many modern businesses and for the modern way of life as people go online to chat or send e-mails to family, friends, and colleagues. Not everyone, however, has DSL or a broadband service outside of the office or school, and not every location offers WiFi. 3G EVDO addresses these concerns because, as a mobile broadband service, it offers totally wireless, always-present Internet service to its users.
The EV-DO protocol allocates more bandwidth for downloads than for uploads. This lets users attain higher download speeds than standard 3G
Newer EV-DO Revision B and Revision C technology supports significantly higher data rates by aggregating bandwidth from multiple wireless channels. The first EV-DO rev B began rolling out in 2010 with support for downloads up to 14.7 Mbps.
EVDO has several advantages over Wi-Fi™. One notable strength includes 24 hour a day, seven day a week seamless roaming. Because the signal can travel on the same cell sites as mobile phones, customers can easily access their corporate virtual private network (VPN) from any location just as long as they can receive a secure and encrypted cellular signal. Customers can also download and run video clips in real-time, and EVDO provides service to customers that live outside of cable-modem or DSL areas.
Having so many advantages, EVDO is sure see increased adoption over the course of this year. You never know..you might just see a Swipe Smartphone running on EVDO technology. What do you think? would you like to see a Swipe EVDO Smartphone? Make sure you let us know in the comments section!
