| CDPD |
Cellular Digital Packet Data. A digital
wireless transmission system that is deployed as an enhancement to the existing analog
cellular network. Based on IBM's CelluPlan II, it provides a packet overlay onto the AMPS
network and moves data at 19.2 Kbps over ever-changing unused intervals in the voice
channels. If all the channels are used, the data is stored and forwarded when a channel
becomes available.
CDPD was developed as a wireless extension to an IP network and uses the four octet
(0.0.0.0) address for connections. CDPD networks cover most of the major urban areas in
the U.S. and has been deployed by AT&T, Ameritech, GTE, BellAtlantic Mobile and other
carriers. By the late 1990s, incompatibility issues had been worked out, and roaming
agreements and interoperability between carriers is generally nationwide. CDPD modems are
available on PC Cards for laptop and handheld computers. |
