For information
EV-DO technology
EV-DO standard (Evolution-Data Optimized) worked out for internet access speed increase and is realized on base of cellular networks of third generation CDMA 2000. This technology represents a superstructure over existing CDMA networks, which allow providing broadband internet access subscribers services without binding to land telecommunication channels. EV-DO allows rising internet access quality by means of high frequency data transfer. Max possible internet access speed is up to 3 MB/s, average speed– 600 KB/s, that corresponds to third generation standards (3G). High data transfer speed by EV-DO technology in rural area is reached by means of applying new algorithms for compression of digital data, that allows securing high speed internet access at any point of CDMA-450 coverage zone.
