Hey, if you thought EV-DO was fast now, wait ’til Revision B hits our shores! Claiming real world speeds of up to 5Mbps, this update may put an end to calling EDGE broadband. Other neat tricks let you use multiple channels of the frequency to multiply your speed and thus make you forget you’re using a cellular network for your broadband. What was that other wireless technology coming called again? Wi-Did-it-Matter? Oh no, WiMax. My bad. ;)

The CDMA Development Group (CDG) (www.cdg.org) today announced that the standard for CDMA2000 EV-DO Revision B is on schedule to be published in the first quarter of 2006. Revision B is a further enhancement to the CDMA2000 standard and significantly increases the data throughput up to 73.5 Mbps in the forward link and 27 Mbps in the reverse link by dynamically allocating multiple radio frequency (RF) carriers across wider frequency blocks.
