W-CDMA : cet acronyme de Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, soit «accès multiple à large bande par partage de code», désigne une forme améliorée de système CDMA. Le taux de transmission peut y culminer à deux mégabits par seconde. W-CDMA répartit les paquets d'informations qu'il prépare (jetons de communication) sur une bande de fréquence beaucoup plus large que ne le fait CDMA. 1, record 1, French, - acc%C3%A8s%20multiple%20%C3%A0%20large%20bande%20par%20partage%20de%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 1, Spanish, - WCDMA
