You just read about Deutsche Telekom. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
VoiceStream Wireless built National GSM mobile operator in the United States. What became of it?
VoiceStream Wireless brought National GSM mobile operator in the United States to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Deutsche Telekom for US$35B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Deutsche Telekom today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about LTE. Here is what it replaced:
cdmaOne (IS-95) served 1995–2022. What ultimately replaced it?
cdmaOne (IS-95) qualcomm's code-division approach: every call was spread across a wide band with a unique code, so all users shared the same spectrum at once and the network sorted them by code, not by channel or time slot. Its job passed to LTE — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
