I-Tel to launch CDMA phones in Uganda

According to I-Tel, CDMA’s capacity for high data speeds will become the preferred choice for companies that are heavy on data, as well as value added service providers and subscribers that use text messaging as a communication tool.

Experts say that a standard CDMA connection has the same digital transfer rate as GSM network, of 9.6kbps, but its voice data is transmitted at 8kbps.
