The world is demanding more from wireless communication technologies than ever before, and CDMA is positioned to respond to those demands. Add in exciting data services and applications such as wireless email, web, digital picture taking/sending and assisted-GPS position location applications, yet tomorrow they will be asked to do even more. CDMA, incorporating spread-spectrum technology, works by digitizing multiple conversations, attaching a code known only to the sender and receiver, and then dicing the signals into bits and reassembling them. CDMA enables many more people to share the airwaves at the same time than do alternative technologies.

Starcomms has a long standing history with CDMA. We were the first in Africa to implement CDMA ONE using the IS-95A in 1998, and in 2002 Starcomms expanded its platform and network to provide fully functional fax & data at 14.4 kbs - a first for Nigeria. In line with our pioneering heritage, and to match global standards.

Starcomms implemented Africa's premier CDMA 2000 1X system, and was the first West Africa’s Mobile Operator to offer 3G Services based in EVDO Rev. 0, services upgraded in 2007 by introducing super-fast 3G EVDO Rev. A services.
