Nortel and Qualcomm takes HSDPA to a new height by achieving 7.2mbps (megabits per second) of download speed using the 3.5G wireless technology - the UMTS-HSDPA (Universal Mobile Telephone System-High Speed Downlink Packet Access) standard.
The giants will demonstrate the high-speed capability at the CTIA Wireless 2006 trade show in Las Vegas next week. The move will increase the download data speed, up to four times, and will a big boost to the whole communication network by allowing ‘twice as many wireless users per cell site as compared with current UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service) or 3G networks.’
Cingular Wireless’ BroadbandConnect offers average speeds between 400kbps (kilobits per second) and 700kbps and with the new HSDPA it can compete with Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel offering EVDO.
