Nexhell runs on iDEN which is a:
TDMA based *RADIO TRUNKING* NETWORK which also happens to allow for INTERCONNECT aka phone calls.
Each nexhell radio is assigned a RID thats your DC/PTT number ala 123*456*789.
Just like trunking used by public safety you enter the RID and make "private/individual call" to the other radio at ID 978*123*456. This is a digital radio call just like any other radio call.
Theres some technical details to the iDEN protocol BUT
Nexhell is a RADIO SYSTEM, NOT a cell phone network. That fact that it allows you to make calls is just a bonus. nexhell is far more related to P16 trunking than CDMA. The fact that cell phones networks may use RF/radio but are not radio systems in the true sense of the meaning.
Its roots lie deep in the radio trunking and LMR interconnect business. Many rich data features have been added that mask that this is still a TDMA TRUNKED radio system and not a pure phone network like CDMA, or even the old AMPS. -- Lorem ipsum ei pro stet equidem labores, at enim animal expetenda nec.

| Glad that someone understands the inside of iDEN. Of course there are pros and cons of each system. A radio centric (i.e. 2-way) design would be inherently suitable for 2-way, while a phone centric design would be suitable for phone side of features.
But when is a radio system not a phone system, can only be separated by someone like you, but nobody else. If it looks like a phone, sounds like a phone, and used like a phone, then it must be a phone. So it's hard to tell others otherwise.
Motorola has always been very strong in the 2-way radio systems world so no surprise if they design something from their experience. |

 fiberguyMy views are my own.Premium join:2005-05-20 kudos:3 | reply to rec9140 Hmmm Rather cute & clever. I love how you said NexHell over and over.. it makes your point that much better.
For the record, NexTEL had a GREAT service.. in many places, the PTT still is superior over any thing cellular. Many places where people were dropping calls, out in the open, getting into elevators, my PTT still works. It makes me regret converting two of my phones to Sprint.
Again, clever.. you replaced TEL with HELL.  |

In my field thats their name and its an apt one, as all they do is create interference to other radio systems that are near by.
Rebanding can not be completed fast enough, move all that slop elsewhere. -- Lorem ipsum ei pro stet equidem labores, at enim animal expetenda nec. Ea vix argumentum dissentiunt, usu esse ridens ex./ / Ban all copyright, trademarks, and IP laws! |
