Air Interface  
TheLX5450 is a dual-band phone that operates on  
both Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)  
frequencies: cellular services at 800 MHz, and  
Personal Communication Services (PCS) at 1.9  
Ghz.

CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS  
(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) that enables the  
phone to keep communication from being crossed  
and to use one frequency channel by multiple users  
in the same specific area. This results in a 10-fold  
capacity increase when compared with analog mode.  
In addition, features such as soft / softer handoff,  
hard Handoff, and dynamic RF power control
