1xRTT

Short for single carrier (1x) Radio Transmission Technology. A high speed wireless technology based on the CDMA platform. 1xRTT has the capability of providing broadband-like speeds of up to 144 Kbps. 1xRTT is also referred to as CDMA2000.

1xEVDO

Part of a family of CDMA2000 1x digital wireless standards. 1xEVDO is a "3G" standard. EVDO stands for "EVolution, Data-Optimized." 1xEVDO is based on a technology initially known as "HDR" (High Data Rate) or "HRPD" (High Rate Packet Data), developed by Qualcomm. The international standard is known as IS-856. 1xEVDO has the capability of providing broadband-like speeds of average speeds of 400-700 kbps.
