An image transmission apparatus and method using a CDMA communication
network are disclosed. The apparatus for transmitting an image captured
by a camera to a wireless terminal of a user by means of a mobile
communication network, includes an image input unit for receiving an
image signal from outside, an image conversion unit for converting an
image outputted from the image input unit into a form receivable by the
wireless terminal, and a wireless data transmission/reception unit for
receiving an image request signal, restructuring the signal outputted
from the image conversion unit into a small packet unit and transmitting
the packet to the terminal of the user. By transmitting the image data in
small packet units instead of transmitting it at once, the image data can
be transmitted even with a CDMA wireless modem of a small capacity.
