Advanced contrast between GPRS and CDMA one packet data

Proliferated needs of the growing market regarding better data packet and voice services is looking to be met by deploying packet data services. This feature involves a complete upgrade of the network. The path to achieve this greatly differs between GSM and CDMA networks. This paper gives an advanced comparison between the GSM and CDMA networks in the path to deploying packet data with essential features of cost implications, time, infrastructure and compatibility in various handsets, speed and implementation methods. Detailed procedure of CDMA to 3G CDMA path is mentioned along with critical comparison with GSM path at each and every stage.
