Technical Details

The Optimus VTM is an all digital phone that operates on Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies: Personal Communication Services (PCS) at 1.9 GHz.

CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to keep communication from being crossed and to use one frequency channel by multiple users in the same speciﬁc area. This results in a 10-fold capacity increase when compared with analog mode. In addition, features such as soft / softer handoff, hard handoff, and dynamic RF power control technologies combine to reduce call interruptions.

The PCS CDMA network consists of MSO (Mobile Switching Ofﬁce), BSC (Base Station Controller), BTS (Base Station Transmission System), and MS (Mobile Station).
