Study these Interview MCQ Questions and Answers on 3G CDMA CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Network Architecture and Channels. EVDO is an acronym for Evolution-Data Optimized. Rev-A and Rev-B are the popular revisions to the original Release-0 specification of EVDO. It is simply an overlay packet data network on top of voice-based CDMA2000 1x network. EVDO eventually led to the 4th generation network UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband or CDMA2000 1xEV-DV Network) which was not so successful and lost to the LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks.
