Intel 7560 CDMA support comes from Via
 

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer

Intel XMM 7560 is, according to company representatives, coming at some point next year. Since this is the first time we’ve seen an Intel XMM product supporting CDMA, we started asking around where did the modem comes from.

To our surprise, Formosa Plastic owned company called VIA is behind the CDMA technology in XMM 7560 modem. Intel acquired Via Telecom in 2015 and this is where the CDMA came from.

CDMA is important for a few reasons. The two main customers are China Telecom (830 plus million subscribers) while the second big reason is called Verizon Wireless and the largest network in the US. Both China Telecom and Verizon use CDMA networks. The phone without a modem that supports CDMA won’t work on these networks and this was one of the reason why China Telecom, Verizon, Sprint and a few others got the iPhone 7 A1660 and iPhone 7 Plus A1661. These phones are guaranteed to work worldwide, as they support both GSM and CMDA.
