L'accès multiple par répartition en code ou AMRC en abrégé [...] est un système de codage des transmissions utilisé en télécommunications, basé sur la technique d'étalement de spectre. Il permet à plusieurs liaisons numériques d'utiliser simultanément la même fréquence porteuse. Il est actuellement appliqué en téléphonie mobile particulièrement aux États-Unis, dans les télécommunications spatiales, militaires essentiellement, et dans les systèmes de navigation par satellites comme le GPS [système mondial de localisation], Glonass ou Galileo. 10, record 2, French, - acc%C3%A8s%20multiple%20par%20r%C3%A9partition%20en%20code

El WCDMA es la tecnología de interfaz de aire en la que se basa la UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System), que, a su vez, es un estándar europeo de Tercera Generación (3G) para los sistemas inalámbricos. La tecnología WCDMA está altamente optimizada para comunicaciones de alta calidad de voz y comunicaciones multimedia, como pueden ser las videoconferencias. También es posible acceder a diferentes servicios en un solo terminal, por ejemplo, podemos estar realizando una videoconferencia y al mismo tiempo estar haciendo una descarga de archivos muy grande, etc. 1, record 7, Spanish, - WCDMA
