Verizon Wireless Speeds Up With EV-DO Rev. A

InformationWeek's W. David Gardner reports today that Verizon Wireless "tried to pin down bragging rights to the high-speed data wireless sweepstakes" by announcing its rollout of next-generation CDMA EV-DO Rev. A.


First locations to get the faster service will be Boston, MA; Richmond and Hampton Roads, VA; Chicago, IL; Salt Lake City, UT; and areas of Florida.


The biggest difference, according to Spectral Advantage analyst Joe Nordgaard, lies in the upload speeds. "EV-DO Rev. A represents an important step in wireless network evolution, because the improved up and down link speeds will allow for many new services like VoIP and better push-to-talk service," he says.


Sprint has already had Rev. A in place for months now, and announced today that it's adding coverage in South Florida, Puerto Rico and Oregon.
