Round 6: Tossup 7

The power efficiency of these consumer devices is improved with the DRX feature. The safety of these consumer devices is generally reported with the SAR measure. The OFDM scheme used by these consumer devices has a higher crest factor than the Gaussian minimum-shift keying used in one standard for them. While in use, these consumer devices are redirected from a source to a target in a (*) handover. A “Holy War” in the late 90s between Qualcomm and Ericsson concerned whether these consumer devices should use North America’s CDMA standard (10[1])or the European GSM standard. (10[1])After being developed for PDAs, the Symbian OS was used with many examples of these devices in the 2000s (10[1])manufactured by Nokia. For 10 (-5[1])points, what consumer devices use standards such as LTE and 5G, as well as a SIM card? ■END■ (10[1])
