Motorola yesterday showed why Carl Icahn may have been on the right track when he pressured the company into spinning off it's depleted mobile-device division and its $1.2 billion in losses last year in an effort to showcase the part of the company that still knows how to innovate.
Moto yesterday announced the first successful packet-switched network handoff between CDMA EV-DO Rev-A and LTE technologies in a demonstration with VoIP calls and streaming video. The technique shows how service providers using CDMA-based networks can integrate broadband OFDMA and IP packet-based wireless broadband technologies like LTE into their network, enabling the roll-out of more interactive services like HD mobile blogging and broadcasting, HD video-on-demand and online gaming.
