Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views. It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if you would like to post something on RF Cafe's Facebook page, please do.

Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts.

If you interview with me, I tend to mix up the questions and I identify quickly whether you have the full understanding or just the surface answers. Not to trick you, but to make sure whomever hires on enjoys their work and have the knowledge to be very successful.

Great question....with the consumer and feature rich applications continually demanding more speed, higher quality service, and cheaper prices, my team, being a functional R&D organization, will continue to have new technologies such as Rel A, WiMax, alternative mobile transmission/receive technologies and countless other items to study, trial, and improve upon. Our function is to look at ways to make our technology work better - kind of a good to great strategy - rather than break fix type analysis - this approach applies to all RF technologies that come our way.....have an awesome day!

Thank you for your reply!

This may be a sales thing...

But, there may be many potential CDMA markets in other continents.... Asia .. Australia where CDMA may not be so prevalent....

With the stature of the firm like Sprint... does it have any policy of expanding business in those regions??

Thanks,
