Ta b l e o f C o n t e n t s General Introduction Chapter 1 - System Introduction 1. CDMA Abstract 2. Features and Advantages of CDMA Mobile Phone 3. Structure and Functions of tri-band CDMA Mobile Phone 4.
Cellular uses 800MHz and PCS uses 1.9GHz. The VX8500 support GPS Mode, we usually call it tri-band phone. Also, VX8500 works on Advanced Mobile Phone Service (S-GPS). We call it dual-mode phone. If one of the Cellular, PCS base stations is located nearby, Call fail rate of triple-mode phone is less than dual-mode phone or single-mode phone.
