Mr Lanre Ajayi, President, Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria (ATCON), on Tuesday said that the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) networks might soon cease to exist.
He spoke against the backdrop of the dwindling CDMA networks in the country and the need to resuscitate them.
According to him, CDMA and GSM are both dynamic technologies.
``Both GSM and CDMA are changing. In fact, very soon, there won’t be anything like CDMA. Very soon, there won’t be anything like GSM; so, I don’t think we should worry about it.
``Both of them incidentally are evolving into a new technology called Long Term Evolution (LTE), hence, very soon, both technologies are going to merge into called LTE,’’ he said.
The ATCON president said the technology that a service-provider used was no longer important, adding that what was important was the business model which the operator was using.
``What is important is the scale of a service provider; are they operating on a large scale or on a small scale?
``So, those are the important things because both technologies may not even exist any longer,’’ he said.
