TDMA Time Division Multiple Access
An advanced digital cellular platform that converts audio signals into a stream of digital information (made up of 1s and 0s) and divides it into "digital speech packets" according to time. The packets are then transmitted one a single radio frequency. TDMA differs from the other popular digital cellular platform, CDMA, in that it uses one channel instead of many. These digital platforms ensure greater call clarity and security, prevent cloning fraud and allow a greater number of calls to be handled by a tower or response center at one time.
