The demand for outstanding data rates and mobile broadband growth continue to leverage the need for improvements in both HSPA and LTE technologies. T-Mobile USA and Nokia Siemens Networks have collaborated to put forth an HSPA standard.
This new innovation will enable operators to enjoy exceptional data rates of more than 650MB/s. Long Term HSPA Evolution promises to enhance mobile broadband with remarkable speeds. Both these companies are striving hard to offer the technology for commercial deployment by 2013.
“We strongly believe in continued HSPA evolution in parallel to the further development of LTE and LTE Advanced,” commented Neville Ray, chief technology officer, T-Mobile USA. “Long Term HSPA Evolution will allow us to enhance our 4G mobile broadband network beyond its current and planned near term capabilities, and provide room for considerable growth and speed enhancements. As customer demand for wireless data increases, we are well positioned to compete based on the speed, breadth and evolution path of our mobile broadband service.”
“The demand for higher data rates and mobile broadband growth continues to push the need for advances in both HSPA and LTE technologies,” asserted Keith Sutton, head of the WCDMA business line for Nokia Siemens Networks. “We are thus equally committed to both technologies. As a leader in HSPA evolution, we have already demonstrated data rates exceeding 100 Mbps at the Mobile World Congress earlier this year. Today, we also have the largest number of HSPA customers with nearly 200 operators worldwide. Driving the standardization of the new technology is a natural extension of our efforts to realize the full potential of HSPA.”
In addition, Nokia Siemens Networks’ Single Access Network platform boasts of being prepared for Long Term HSPA Evolution. Operators can seamlessly manage network traffic and costs incurred with the advent of the new technology. Further, this offering uplifts the entire mobile experience with incredible capabilities.
All Long Term HSPA Evolution features flaunt backward compatibility and can be effortlessly utilized with existing WCDMA and HSPA mobile phones on the same carriers.
