| GSM is compressed and encrypted.
And not used in the US. We have PCS, which is not encrypted. The header
packets are secured using a key exchange mechanism to prevent theft of IDs.
| Ever heared of DECT?
Also not used in the US. We have WDCT, which is not encrypted. It uses
continuous pseudorandom frequency hopping for security. From Siemens own
literature: "The use of frequency hopping spread spectrum makes phone
conversations more secure and less susceptible to interference, virtually
guaranteeing privacy - an important feature when business transactions such
as banking are done over the telephone. At 100 hops per second, calls made
on a WDCT system are nearly impossible to intercept."
