GSM-CDMA Multimedia Messaging

Coming Soon To A Cell Phone Near You.

By William David Gardner

Comverse Technology has been demonstrating its multimedia messaging interoperability between CDMA and GSM wireless networks at this week's 3GSM Congress in Cannes, France.
Comverse is utilizing Qualcomm's BREW solution to carry out the demo. The achievement is likely to eventually lead to the sharing of multimedia transmissions between GSM- and CDMA-based users.

Johan Lodenius, Qualcomm's senior vp of European Business Relations, hailed the demo as a "significant achievement for the wireless industry in bridging the gap between CDMA and GSM networks and the implementation of the latest multimedia applications."

The transmission between GSM and CDMA was developed at Comverse's Multimedia Messaging Center, which has produced a scalable telco-grade system that is compliant with industry standards. The transmission of multimedia content will be available for person-to-person applications as well as in application-to-person situations.
