[FedCom] Federal User's Nextel/Sprint IDEN New Hybrid System

[JETorres]

I knew that CDMA uses "built-in" encryption but the Nextel iDen as I  
know it, doesn't use CDMA. It's basically just like a regular trunked  
system using TDMA and VSELP vocoder, etc. In fact, it's not even  
considered a cellular company but an ESMR (Enhanced Specialized  
Mobile Radio) system.
