EDVO VS EDGE COMPARISION

EVDO and EDGE both are high speed wireless networks . As cell phones become more like PDAs, people are accessing larger files such as email attachments with these devices and even watching youtube video ,using facebook like social networking site. Many people in Bangladesh also in whole world using cell phone as their modem .

These wireless broadband networks have speeds that are many times faster than typical cell phone connections, but the throughput rates can differ dramatically. One difference is the protocol your cell carrier uses. In the Bangladesh, the predominant standards are CDMA and GSM. Each of these standards has their own high-speed protocol. In some regards, this is like DSL and cable access. Both offer high-speed access at different rates and each requires their own equipment.


EVDO (FOR CDMA)

In the CDMA world, the high-speed wireless protocol is called EvDO. Like many abbreviations, this one has two translations: Evolution Data Optimized and Evolution Data Only. In Bangladesh , Only Citycell using CDMA technology for mobile network.
EVDO is more likely faster among two networks.Currently Citycell offering highest speed at 512Kps which means if you dont have any system loss , you can get download speed at around 64 KB/s
 .Citycell networks covers almost all major cites in Bangladesh .

EDGE (FOR GSM)
 
The  GSM world has its own protocol and acronym EDGE. EDGE stands for Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution. Although it is much slower than EvDO, it does offer some advantages. In Bangladesh , remaining four mobile network Grameen, Banglalink , Airtel [Previously Warid],Robi[Previously Aktel] use GSM technology for their mobile netwok . I have not seen any documents where these carries disclose their speeds . But EDGE is usually cited cite 70-135kbps with bursts to 200kbps.
