Launch of the GSM version of V60i is expected in Q2 of 2003.
6. Is CDMA And TDMA Technology Compatible With GSM?
Handsets (phones) for GSM systems are not capable of analog operation. A vehicle leaving GSM coverage would not be able to make, receive or continue calls. TDMA and CDMA technologies offer backup analog operation and therefore have substantially increased coverage over GSM networks.
