 EVDO Revision A is barely deployed by even the biggest U.S. mobile carriers, yet lab rats have already decided that EVDO Revision C needs a sexier name. Technically dubbed CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Revision C, the spec (now freshly re-incarnated as UMB) allows for mobile speeds up to 280Mbps downstream. That's a vast increase over EVDO revision B, due out in 2008, which offers fixed downstream speeds of 46.5Mbps. CDMA supporters hope that UMB can do battle with the traditionally more robust 3G GSM options such as HSDPA and UMTS.
