EVDO – Next Generation doesn’t sound sexy. That perhaps that explains why KDDI is staying away from the EVDO mumbo-jumbo, and is calling its post 3g network, The Ultra 3G. (No relation to Ali-G!) The Japanese giant along with rest of the CDMA faithful hopes to complete the next-generation CDMA 2000 wireless standard by mid-2007, which will boost speeds to 100-to-1000 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up. “Third Generation Partnership Project 2″ (3GPP2) will allow carriers to marry a whole slew of technologies – today’s 3G mobile phones, wireless LAN, IEEE 802.16e, new wireless systems, and even ADSL and FTTH wired access media using a technology called, “IP Multimedia Subsystem/Multimedia Domain (IMS).” There is a lot of talk about IMS these days. KDDI says it is on target to rollout EVDO Rev A service by end of 2006 – where speeds get goosed up to 3.1 Mbps down and 1.8 Mbps up.
