The main capacity of CDMA2000 is to deliver a radio interface system that is better than the second generation (2G) systems. In October 2000, SK Telecom (Korea) launched the first commercial system that used this platform (based on the CDMA 2000 1x technology). Since then, several other versions have been developed.

Other technologies include CDMA2000 1xEV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized) Technologies, which is comprised of several revisions.
