Ericsson ‘risponde’ a NTT DoCoMo: secondo le indiscrezioni, mostrerà al CTIA Wireless prossima settimana la prima soluzione end-to-end HSPA (il super-UMTS) a 42 Mbps.
Velcità ottenuta grazie alla modulazione 64QAM e tecnologia MIMO 2×2 (Multiple Input Multiple Output).

Speeds of up to 42 Mbps represent the next phase in HSPA Evolution. These speeds are achieved by combining new higher order modulation technology (64QAM), together with 2×2 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technology. The first step of the HSPA evolution will be introduced during 2008.

The improved speed will assist operators in leveraging existing network infrastructure to meet growing consumer appetite for advanced multimedia services. The demonstration will be made using a handheld form-factor device based on Ericsson Mobile Platforms access technology.

Ericsson’s WCDMA/HSPA Radio Access Network solutions offer an evolutionary path for HSPA Evolution. For example, the RBS 3000 family of Ericsson base stations has support for both HSPA Evolution and LTE. Ericsson’s recently launched next-generation radio base station family, the RBS 6000 series, offers a enhanced multi-standard solution that supports GSM/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA Evolution and LTE, all in a single package.


Si tratta, ovviamente, di velocità teoriche 🙂
